“Apostle Suleman won this highest  honor not only  because he is noted as a great social worker with outstanding performances in outreach programmes but also his passion for giving without borders”

“Apostle Suleman is so privileged, because there are a lot of people out there who are equally blessed if not more but are not willing to do,” noted a member of the award committee.

King who is representing South Carolina. Others in the list include Rep. Harold Love, representing Tennessee, and Hon. Dr. Dee Dawkins-Haigler, representing Atlanta-Georgia.
