Section 3: I’m awarding this “The Blog Of The Year 2013 Award” to :
is Amar Naik for his blog outreach. It is found at    http://amarnaik.com

Amar’s blog is diverse in its content. There is wonderful photography, creative writing often with great moral lesson and a category Teach India which I think should be teach the world. Here he discusses issues on global health and other United Nations issues. His blog is well worth a visit.

I am also nominating  Glynis Jolly for her blog Speculations Impressed which is found at    http://speculationsimpressed.wordpress.com

Glynis is a great writer who puts her thoughts, emotions and ideas onto paper. She has written for some time but has only recently gone public with her work – and I am pleased she has as she is a great read.

I hope you’ll both accept my nomination.
