The Canadian Red Cross has awarded two Manitobans, the 2014 Red Cross Humanitarian of the Year and Young Humanitarian of the Year awards. The recipients are Susan Lewis for Humanitarian award and Muuxi Adam for Young Humanitarian award. The annual Canadian Red Cross Power of Humanity luncheon, presented by Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries, on Sept. 10 at the Victoria Inn was where CKUW caught up with the two dedicated Manitobans for interviews. Susan Lewis has been helping Manitobans through the charitable organization the United Way for 40 years. She became campaign manager in 1974. Lewis became president of the United Way of Winnipeg in 1985, a position she has held ever since. Muuxi Adam works to help refugees in other parts of the world by building a school for refugee children in Kenya through the organization he co-founded, Humankind International Inc. In Winnipeg, Adam helps newcomers to Canada, especially youth, through the Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization of Manitoba.
