The deep, unconditional and dedicated passion with which Ladles of Love – and particularly its founder, Danny Diliberto – has approached its task is an example and an inspiration to everyone who wishes to build a new and better South Africa. In providing food to so many needy South Africans, Ladles of Love not only makes an important contribution to society – but also provides an excellent practical example of goodwill in action. It shows what can be achieved when South Africans from different communities work together in a spirit of goodwill and compassion.

We will present the award at the next suitable opportunity – either later this year or at our annual conference on 2 February next year.
