The coronavirus pandemic continues to cause great suffering in many countries, including India. To read an article by Arundhati Roy, that explores some of the challenges faced, click here.
Like so many people responding to the pandemic, T. Raj, who leads the NGO Children Watch, is helping to address some of the inequalities communities are facing. Based in Tamil Nadu, Children Watch has engaged with the Irula community in significant ways. For example, it has worked with 200 families to support their emergency response and rehabilitation initiatives. We would like to extend out gratitude to the people within the Caplor Community who have supported Raj and his team through previous appeals.
Raj embodies what it looks like to lead with a moral compass, showing how, through action, it is possible to inspire people to build a better world. Click here to read Professor Sharon Turnbull’s paper "Learning to Lead with a Moral Compass". It sets out how leaders who use their moral compass are conscious of two overarching points: how they contribute outside their organisations to make a sustainable difference in the world and how they contribute inside their organisations to build a lasting, moral and values-based culture.
