The Inaugural Gathering of Kindness Ambassador
On the hop points for Hop!
Alan Hopgood AM, writer of the Hush Health Plays, received the inaugural Gathering of Kindness Ambassador Award in front of the audience of approx. 120, 37 floors up in the air at the KPMG event floor as part of Kindness Works Here 2018.
His family were all on hand for the recognition.
The Health play Do You Know Me had just been performed and Alan was surprised, delighted and very gracious.
He spoke of his warm association and Hush and praised his actors for their work.
It was doubly appropriate as it was also World Kindness Day.
