I was so honoured to be selected from thousands of applications worldwide, to be part of the 2022-23 META community programme.
My community and I were in the top 2-3% of communities globally.
This was and still is a huge acknowledgement of the work we all do to help our community and we continue to make the most of the opportunities this acolade offered in order to help more people.
