The Netball Development Trust’s founder Monica Thandi was awarded the 2013 Asian Woman of Achievement award for sport at a gala evening at the Hilton, Park Lane, London on May 15th.
The Award is a recognition of her efforts to utilise the Trust’s netball coaching programme and reach girls and boys who are located in some of the least developed regions of Uganda and India.
Monica was one of four nominees including Manisha Tailor, Aisha Ahmad and Rimla Akhtar.
The awards are presented by Real Business and the Royal Bank of Scotland to Asian Women achievers in various fields including business, arts & culture, entrepreneurship, social & humanitarian activities and sports.
The Asian Women of Achievement Awards, co-founded by Pinky Lilani OBE in 1999, were conceived to celebrate the often unsung Asian heroines of British life. Such women make a huge contribution in fields as diverse as business, entrepreneurship and social and humanitarian work. These awards, are their moment in the spotlight.
In her acceptance speech, Monica dedicated the award to all the volunteers and participants of the Trust’s programme.
What an evening – we still can’t believe it!
Happy Flowers!
