On November 12th 2011, Ms. Jiwani delivered the keynote address to the Columbian Children’s Organization 20th Anniversary Silver Ball and Fundraising Gala. In the course of her engagement, Jiwani provided a keynote engagement and addressed the importance of providing support to empowering the boy and girl child to realize their full potential. “We are thrilled to have Ms. Jiwani speak at the Gala. The labour of Canadians has saved lives in Colombia and turned children away from poverty. We strongly believe in equipping kids so that they can become self-­‐sufficient adults and contributing members to their society thereby eliminating the vicious cycle of poverty and creating a stronger future for Colombia.” Stated Conchita Sanchez, President, CCCO.”
