City NGO honoured with UK award

Hyderabad; July 8 ( PMI ): A social activist of the City, Azhar Maqsusi, who runs an NGO, Sani Welfare Foundation, that feeds 1,500 people in distress a day, has been granted the United Kingdom’s Commonwealth Points of Light Award. The award recognises “outstanding individual volunteers who are making a change in their community”. Said Dr Andrew Fleming, British Deputy High Commissioner, Hyderabad: “Azhar’s contribution to society is incredible and has meant the difference between a meal or no meal for millions. There are many similar missions of selfless sacrifice and service, some emerging as a result of the pandemic, but the powerful ‘Hunger has no Religion’ has run for eight years, reaching the most vulnerable and delivering a powerful underlying message to all. I cannot be happier for him and members of the Sani Welfare Foundation.
