Handeni Gold Inc. (the "Company" or "Handeni Gold") (OTCBB:HNDI).
HNDI is pleased to announce that Dr Reginald Mengi, non-executive
Chairman of Handeni Gold was recently honoured by the United
Nations (UN) with two major awards: the United Nations NGO Lifetime
Achievement Award and the 2010 Global Leadership and Humanitarian
Award.
The Lifetime Achievement Award is given to individuals who have
made a commitment to improving the living standards of mankind.
They must have demonstrated years of work embodying the ideals of
the UN through the achievement of the UN Millennium Development
Goals and Objectives, particularly in the fight against poverty,
diseases and hunger.
Nominee selection for UN NGO awards is a rigorous process
involving voting by more than 10,000 UN registered NGOs. Dr Mengi
is the first individual in the world to be nominated and win this
newly established most prestigious award.
For the 2010 Global Leadership and Humanitarian Award, Dr Mengi
is the first African to be nominated and win the award. The coveted
awards were presented in Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) on the 28th of
April 2012.
"The world would be a much better and happier place to live in
for both rich and poor if the culture of giving became a universal
practice. Philanthropy is an act of expressing gratitude to God for
what he has given us even though we did not deserve it. It is
important to remember that when our lives come to an end, we will
not be remembered by the size of wealth we accumulated, but by what
we did with the wealth with which God endowed us." said Dr.
Mengi.
Speaking at the recent ceremony held in Dar es Salaam and
attended by many dignitaries including the Tanzania Chief Justice,
UN officials, members of the diplomatic corps, Members of
Parliament, business and government executives, UN Resident
Coordinator Alberic Kacou said "Here is a person who dedicates his
energy, time and resources to working to alleviate poverty,
protecting the earth and helping those most in need."
Dr. Mengi has been non-executive chairman of the board of
Handeni Gold Inc. since September 2010.
