For those of you who have listened to episodes 33 and 34 where I interviewed Shane Holst of the Australian Altruism Foundation, you may remember he discussed the Humanitarian Awards.

These awards recognise people who contribute to the social and spiritual wealth of their communities and often receive little or no recognition. The Humanitarian Awards are a way of recognising these people and giving their causes a public profile.

Nominations for the 2007 awards are now open and forms can be accessed on the AAF site . It costs $Au25 to nominate someone and this cost goes to fund the conducting of the awards. The Awards will be presented in May 2007 in Melbourne and I encourage all Aussies to think of a worthy person in the community who meets the criteria and take five minutes to nominate them in one of the following categories: Arts, entertainment and media, charity, education, environment, health.

When you go to the site, you will notice that the dates are different to those I’ve mentioned, IGNORE that……….it’s in the process of being changed. Nominations now close at the end of January 2007. I’ll keep you updated as things move forward.
So GET TO IT and reward someone who contributes for the good of all.
