Also speaking on her recent appointment, she said, “Becoming matron of HPAN-UK is a privilege. I had been a renowned humanitarian officer committed to serving those in need. My extensive contributions to humanitarian services, through my ‘Hope at Twilight’ initiative, have significantly impacted the lives of many, particularly the elderly and unsung heroes within our society.
Therefore, becoming a matron of the Hospital and Prison Welfare Initiative (HPWI) is an extension of my services to humanity.”
