“I am grateful to have been part of the 2014 OCIC Global
Changemakers program. The recognition, for me, is a motivation to
strive to be better as an individual and to continue to make the
world (and this planet) a better place. I think that is what makes the
recognition so valuable -- the personal motivation that comes from
it.”
– Andrew Wong, 2014 Global Changemaker Award recipient
