As the world becomes smaller... hopefully, with the help of the almighty, I can play a little part in the form of a messenger to bring peace and harmony, says Prakash Joshi, this month’s Career Visions interviewee, a native of the Pearl of Africa — Uganda.

Explaining his nomination of Mr Joshi, Virgil Dias writes:

“...The highest accolade I can give Prakash is to say he is a humanitarian. He has great empathy for all kinds of people he has encountered in East Africa where he grew up, in the United Kingdom where he studied Industrial Chemistry, and in Canada where he makes his home today and works with AMEC Earth & Environmental Ltd as a Senior Materials Engineering Technologist.

He is also an internationalist who seeks to understand the richness of the human spirit through great spiritual leaders past and present like Mahatma Gandhi of India, the Dalai Lama of Tibet, the Reverend Desmond Tutu of South Africa, and Spiritual Chiefs of our Native North American Indians.

He has given back to his community in Canada and is a respected member of his profession.

He hopes that someday the African people will find the prosperity they deserve and he has extended his efforts in Uganda to do whatever he can to foster an improvement in the social conditions of the people of that beautiful place that was once known as the Pearl of Africa.”
