The Regional Network for Social Responsibility has honoured Mariam bint Ali bin Nasser al-Misnad, executive director of Administration and Finance Division at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies (DI) with the International Social Responsibility Excellence Award for 2021, in recognition of her efforts in the field of humanitarian and volunteer work.
At a ceremony on campus, Dr Mohamed bin Saif al-Kuwari, International Ambassador for Social Responsibility, presented the award to al-Misnad. DI acting president, Dr Abdelwahab El Affendi highlighted that humanitarian action in its true sense refers to virtue and charity, it’s a supreme value and the most important thing a person does in life.
“Social responsibility is highly appreciated at the Institute; education, academic work and research are of no value unless they benefit the human person and society. Mariam will continue - from her position - to contribute directly or indirectly to humanitarian and social responsibility action,” he added.
Al-Misnad expressed her pride at being honoured by the Regional Network for Social Responsibility. "This award is a true reflection of my faith and belief in the importance of consolidating the principles and concepts of social responsibility,” she said.
“The closest tribute to myself, which I have received many times without medals or honorary positions, is the feeling I get every time my team and I achieve a project, initiative or put forward efforts to serve the precious people of this country who live on its soil. Each act achieves a valuable goal and adds to society, which I consider to be the true honour to which I am entitled.”
Al-Misnad concluded that social responsibility is at the forefront of her priorities and concerns, as it constitutes an important part of her duty towards the society and humanity.
Dr al-Kuwari explained that social responsibility exists in all societies, despite the differences between one society and another, there are rules that govern the behavior of people and institutions, stressing the need to consolidate the rules through legislation and laws.
He underlined the contributions of Al-Misnad to humanitarian work at the international national level, noting that such an honour would serve as a motivation for her to continue in the world of responsible giving.
The ceremony was attended by distinguished leaders of social responsibility and development work, in addition to many faculty members and students of the Master of Social Work programme at DI.
