Dearest Mohammed, and the whole Jameel family, a note of pride and many congratulations to all of you and Community Jameel on this unique anniversary – 75 years.
It’s a special moment to celebrate the diamond jubilee, and also to reflect the tremendous contributions you have made in the world of philanthropy. What best reminds me of you, and your philanthropic contribution, is what Confucius once said: “a man of humanity is one who, desiring attainment for himself, helps others to attain.”
The difference in your philanthropic contribution, to all of us, has been ‘impact.’ You, and your foundation, has made a significant contribution and impact in science and health; the arts and culture; and in education and societal benefit.
Congratulations again and I look forward to the centenary celebrations! Thank you.
