Established by the British government in 1999 to continue Princess Diana\u2019s legacy, the Diana award recognizes young people worldwide who were going above and beyond the expected in their local communities in a formal way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This award is considered one of the highest accolades a young person aged 9-25 years can receive for social action or humanitarian efforts. SiaGodika, 14, LakshyaSubodh, 17, Akarsh Shroff, 20, Navya Agarwal, 16, Meghana Narayanan, 16, Aaryani Sahay, 16, and Viha Amit Thumar, 17 from Bangalore received The Diana Award this year at a virtual ceremony for their humanitarian work to uplift the living standard of common people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Koramangala resident Sia, a student of Neev Academy, received the award for the work carried out by her and her group \u201cSole Warriors\u201d. Started in November 2019, Sole Warriors works under the tagline – \u2018Donate a sole, save a soul\u2019. Sia started the initiative after she was utterly disturbed by the damaged feet of construction workers near her home. So far, her group has collected over 15,000 pairs of footwear from 4,000 households, refurbished them, and distributed them to the unprivileged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In one of her interviews, Sia said, \u201cI did some analysis and located that thousands of people contract illnesses by strolling barefoot, whereas 350 million footwear is discarded by privileged households, and a few are simply stashed in cabinets unused\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
