The winner of this years United Nations Positive Peace Award is Alexander Souri and his small company Relief Riders. He organizes humanitarian based adventure travel vacations on horseback through the Thar Desert of Rajasthan, India. The video below is a CBS Newsreel explaining how over the last six years Relief Riders International has been able to deliver far reaching medical and educational programs providing school supplies, goats, medical care and cataract surgeries to rural communities in Rajasthan. I have met Alexander and talked with him over dinner and found him to be a fascinating and modest individual who truly deserves his UN Award. I am proud that we are now friends and that Measurable Management has been nominated for the 2011 award. It is an honor to be in such illustrious company.
