We are witnessing great
international results coming out of World Civility Day. Dr. Chuck Hughes and
Dr. Gordon Bradshaw along with the Gary Indiana Chamber of Commerce and Bob
Heist formally with NW Indiana Times Media Group, have worked together to
create the Community Civility Counts Initiative and World Civility Day and
appointed Dr. Clyde Rivers as the Spokesperson for World Civility Day. The World
Civility Ambassador Award is reaching platforms of the world and Dr. Rivers,
President and Founder of iChange Nations™, is finding great global people of
civility to honor.
Former President of Zambia,
Kenneth Kaunda, is one of the last living freedom fighter that aided Nelson
Mandela in his apartheid movement in South Africa; helping him get free from
prison and housing and protecting members of his political party for years.
Kaunda worked in his country to unite the over 70 tribes that are united to this
day. He was first person in history awarded prestigious ICN World Civility Ambassador
Award and this has set the bar high for this award.
Other influential awardees
holding the prestigious World Civility Ambassador Award is Lew Bayer, Founder
of Civility Experts Worldwide Inc. and Consuelo Portillo Folgar, the “Women of
Peace” for the country of Guatemala.
iChange Nations™ World Civility Day
and Community Civility Counts Initiative with Dr. Gordon Bradshaw and Dr. Chuck
Hughes are working together to recognize the individuals and organizations
working to empower and help mankind globally and regionally. “We need to brand
a new kind of hero, a new role model for the people of the world to follow. If
we don’t bring these great people to our global platforms to acknowledge and
honor them, we have lost a huge part of legacy intended to guide and better the
world. That is the reason iChange Nations and Community Civility Counts
Initiative are seeking out people doing great things to help the world and
bestows honor upon them. We are creating a new standard and the world will
follow,” Says World Peace Ambassador and World Civility Day Spokesperson, Dr.
Clyde Rivers.
