HEROES AMONG US
At DHL Lifesaving South Africa we’re on a mission to celebrate the heroes among us! Join us as we recognize the everyday heroes within the lifesaving community and honour their exceptional contribution and efforts to go beyond the call of duty.
12 inspiring lifesaving stories will be chosen and featured on Lifesaving South Africa’s social media channels and website.
These heroes will enter the running for the annual DHL Lifesaving Heroes Among Us award, which will be presented by DHL at the DHL Lifesaving Annual awards ceremony.
Each DHL Lifesaving Hero will receive a special gift from DHL as a token of appreciation for their contribution to lifesaving and the community.
Although spotting everyday heroes shouldn’t be tough, these questions can guide you:
- Community Impact: Has the nominee gone beyond their call of duty, using their lifesaving skills to make a significant difference in their community?
- Exceptional Rescue Efforts: Has the nominee demonstrated bravery by saving lives under challenging conditions?
