intransigent social problems in their respective societies, problems which are most damaging to the lives of

those trapped in poverty or ignorance.  These problems are manifest in seemingly very diverse and disparate

issues--prolonged armed conflict, preventable disease and death, human trafficking and exploitation,

corruption with impunity,  weak governance and political instability--yet each of this year’s  awardees is

showing us that there are ways to build genuine success, one smart and persistent step at a time.  Working

selflessly in unpretentious yet powerful ways, they are showing us how commitment, competence and

collaborative leadership can truly create ripples of change, even from the bottom of the pyramid.
