That's good to hear. But it also give one food for thought. How many of those 3000 nominations were perhaps equally deserving of the "honour"? How many were cast aside because their efforts were described by someone not very skilled in the language arts? 1000? 2000? 2999? In a country of 147million people is .002 a representation of the percentage of selfless individuals in this sea of materialistic humanity? Even if 10times as many deserving nominations had been recieved, how much of a change would it have
made to the percentage? But then looking at it from a positive angle, maybe this number is just the tip of the iceberg. As these people have quietly gone about doing what good they could in their own personal way, so perhaps are countless more, each adding their own contribution,to the greater good. Maybe that's why in spite of all signs to the contrary this country still manages to function...Most good folk either do nothing or are never in a position to make much of a difference...and we all know that's all that is needed for the triumph of good old evil...
