Our inaugural winner of the 2013 Talent Unleashed Awards, entrepreneur Duncan Ward founded his charity organisation Classroom of Hope Charity with the purpose of providing access to quality education to children living in poverty in developing countries.
The 2013 year event had entries that were amazingly varied, and really showcased the outstanding pool of young talent that exists around the world. For the judges, there was one that stood out among all others. Duncan Ward’s Classroom of Hope was recognised for its potential to change the lives of thousands of schoolchildren in Cambodia and, as a result, became our first ever winner of the Talent Unleashed Award for Impact.
Ward said not only was it amazing experience getting to meet and hang out with the likes of Sir Richard Branson and other amazing business minds, but that the prestige that came with taking out the award actually opened up many business opportunities for his organisation.
“The experience was extraordinary and was a great opportunity for Classroom of Hope and myself to get our voice heard,” he said.
