You will be awarded under the category “ Pan-African Humanitarian Award for Excellence in Social Leadership and Community Impact,” Brig. Gen. Dr. Amb.

“It is upon the actualization of the above decision that the Distinguished Advisory Board Members of Pan African Leadership and Entrepreneurship Development Centre (PALEDEC) in partnership with the International Centre for Diplomacy, Morocco, and blessing from the Moroccan Government respectfully write to notify you as an awardee and Guest-Speaker at the fourth edition of the Pan African Humanitarian Summit/Award 2018 scheduled to hold in Rabat, Morocco on the 13th and 14th of November 2018 with the theme “Africa, My Home: an inclusive participation for Africa’s development,” Dr. Williams added.
