At a prestigious G.I.A. (Global International Alliance) graduation ceremony in Pretoria on the 21 July 2023 – our very first Portuguese Female & Community Empowerment leader within our community- Dr. Sandra Da Mata was awarded a Doctorate in Humanitarianism.
The G.I.A. is an international alliance who give recognition to individuals all around the world who help make a positive impact on building better communities.
Sandra received the award with much humility and made the following statement in her acceptance speech:
“Today, history has been made for our whole community. Thank you Nosso Senhor! I receive this heartfelt accolade with the deepest gratitude to everyone who have always supported my Humanitarian Projects that I have run since I was 14 years old.”
“I want to especially dedicate this Doctorate to my God-fearing and hard-working parents – (Placido Da Mata and Manuela Da Mata) who raised me up to always respect humanity and honour all those around me no matter what, I am what I am today because of how you shaped me to be full of unconditional love, honesty, and sincerity.”
