national honour awarded
for community service
Chan received this award
for the various charity
drives implemented by
Making A Difference
South Africa and the
influential impact it had
on people across the
country. The impact was
only achievable through
the support of Sasol
colleagues.
This award was received
for the work done in
Gauteng and the
communities touched
across the landscape of
the province. The personal
effort and support put
into Gauteng projects in
disadvantaged
communities by Sasol
colleagues was
instrumental in this award
being received.
This nomination is a
South African civilian
national honour and
awarded to those for
community service.
Chan points out that he does not regard these nominations as personal recognition, but an acknowledgment of the work
being done by Making a Difference South Africa. He added that this is also a recognition of the generosity and kindness
of Sasol colleagues who get involved in different projects. He believes that recognition of this nature lends credibility
that will allow the organisation to grow and help more people in need.
The success of the organisation reminds us what makes this country great, ordinary South Africans coming together
under a single banner of making a difference to bring about positive change.
It is this hope and the work of similar organisations across this country that will be the means which truly drives change
at grassroots levels in our country.
