GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP AWARD
New York, New York - February 28, 2010 – Orphans International Worldwide (OIWW) recognized New Yorkers who best personify Global Citizenship through a series of awards during the V.I.P Reception of the first Quarterly Arts Soirée to benefit Haiti at Webster Hall. Orphans International Worldwide has operated in Asia, Africa and the Americas for more than a decade with the motto: Raising Global Citizens. Mr. Jim Luce, Founder and President of OIWW, selected Ms. Claudia Abate, Founder of the Foundation for Post Conflict Development, for the 2010 Global Citizenship Award for Leadership in Helping Humanity.
Ms. Abate’s personal and global commitment to humanity with a focus on infant and maternal health, family and youth community initiatives coincides with that of Mr. Luce. “Our children need strong role models. Especially now, as we help to repair Haiti, we know that all children must acknowledge our common humanity. Claudia epitomizes through her work with the Foundation for Post Conflict Development the type of Thought Leader and Global Citizen that we hope, not only the children in our care, but all children globally will aspire to,” said Mr. Luce.
As Ms. Abate is currently working in Timor-Leste, Mr. Frank Abate, Ms. Abate’s father and Founding FPCD Board Member, accepted the award on her behalf.
The Foundation for Post Conflict Development (FPCD) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization associated with the United Nations Department of Public Information dedicated to assisting post conflict countries with projects essential to their reconstruction, including the demobilization /disbanding of child soldiers, reintegration of war veterans, the creation of meaningful employment and cultural preservation. Through direct education, action and development (or the promotion of global partnership for such efforts), the FPCD’s mission is to fulfill the Millennium Development Goals set forth by the UN. The FPCD’s landmark project is the Prince Rainier III Maternity Clinic, the first of its kind in Timor-Leste.
