The MTN Ghana foundation yesterday in a plush, but short ceremony which was held at the MTN House – Ridge launched the season five (5) of the MTN heroes of Change with a refined zeal to touch life and change destinies.
The two new categories from last year made up of media personalities and houses, musicians, actors and sports personalities which saw two people rewarded for their contribution to society still holds.
The CEO of MTN Ghana Mr. Selorm Adadevoh during his speech before the launch made it known heroes are not big as we perceive in our minds, but seemingly small acts of kindness, small acts of support and small acts of help that makes heroes.
”Seemingly small acts of kindness, small acts of support and small acts of help, that’s all MTN heroes of change is about, there are people out there in small communities who had absolutely nothing but just out of share will to help, they find a way to help and support others. Thus, our vision as MTN to impact social change weather by money or not. But it’s the will of change that’s is really important. This why we support and continue to support the MTN heroes of change.” Shared by CEO of MTN Ghana Mr. Selorm Adadevoh.
