The CIDI would like to acknowledge the individuals, groups and corporations who have undertaken innovative and meaningful initiatives to express principals of humanitarianism by action.  As well, the CIDI would like to acknowledge committed involvement by corporations, individuals and groups to assisting in the humanitarian aid process.

Each story presented below demonstrates a learning process, an awareness and a sensitivity of the true needs of those who are suffering.  There is an important role for the public and corporations to play in international humanitarian assistance, and the CIDI remains committed to providing them with the guidance to help them make the best choices.
