\nMessage from the Director<\/p>\n

Dear Readers of Dwarka Parichay,<\/p>\n

Some of you must have observed that Dwarka Parichay[DP] , for the last about six months is inviting nominations from all of you, for GIRAFFE HEROES.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

The announcement which is being carried at regular intervals by DP also briefly mentioned about who the Giraffe Heroes are\/could be?<\/p>\n

Well, details about it are available at the website www.giraffe.org<\/p>\n

Giraffe Hero is a person who sticks his\/her neck out for commom\/public good at huge personal risk.<\/p>\n

This Program started in USA in 1982.So far only about 1400 Giraffe Heroes have been commended from all parts of the world by its USA[HQ] office.<\/p>\n

Four years back, it was decided by the HQ office to have Programs of Giraffe Heroes in other countries of the world thru its Giraffe Heroes International[GHI] wing.<\/p>\n

\nIn 2012,Giraffe Heroes India Program[GHIP] was launched when Mr John Grahams ,Director GHI, visited New Delhi in June 2012.<\/p>\n

I am privileged to be the 1st Director of GHIP.Since 2012,we have tried to create awareness about this noble Program-identifying Giraffe Heroes from India & commending them.The main aim is to throw light on UNSUNG HEROES from India & highlight their achievements, so that the other citizens emulate their heroic examples and make better society\/vibrant India.<\/p>\n

Some nominations have been recd & the Jury is examining\/ considering the same<\/p>\n

As, now, I live in Dwarka, I take this opportunity to invite all Dwarakites in particular to send nominations of any unsung-hero of Dwarka or any other, whom they know, to my e-mail id saluvk@gmail.com<\/a> or to the   DWARKA PARICHAY e-mail id  info@dwarkaparichay.com<\/a> .<\/p>\n

Dwarka Parichay,I am very happy to say is one our very valued Media-Partner<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Check for criteria & nomination form for a Giraffe Hero India.<\/p>\n

Pl also let me have your ideas\/ views on the subject & how will you like to associate yourself with this ALL INDIA PROGRAM .<\/p>\n

I look forward to your responses.<\/p>\n

With best wishes,<\/p>\n

Vijay K. Saluja<\/p>\n
