IMHO is thrilled to announce that Dr. T. Sathiyamoorthy, current  Medical Superintendent at the Vavuniya General Hospital in Northern Sri  Lanka, has been named the winner of the 2010 InterAction Humanitarian  Award! Each year InterAction recognizes an individual who has  demonstrated extraordinary leadership in support of non-governmental  organizations (NGOs) and the people they serve in the developing world.  As the international relief and development community’s national staff  and national counterparts often must surmount significant obstacles in  order to carry out their work effectively in their own home countries or  regions, InterAction seeks to honor these individuals and their bravery  and commitment to the most vulnerable populations in their own  communities.   The award is meant to recognize individuals whose work  reflects important leadership qualities such as courage, initiative,  creativity, grace under pressure, personal integrity, personal  sacrifice, and who have made significant contributions in the developing  world in any of the following areas: disaster relief, human  development, refugee assistance, civil society, equitable economic  development, health, environment, education, population, or public  policy.    Full Story>>>
