In wich order are the VIPs listed on the VIPs list?
|
|
|
We really tried hard to find a fair way to put the VIPs in an order. We wish we could place them all on the top position! Anyway we did it this way:
Nobel Prize Laureates and scientists, Nobel Peace Laureates come first.
Heads of States and Members of governments
UNICEF, UNESCO etc. Goodwill Ambassadors
more VIPs
|
|
Within these categories at the top position are people with an ‘*’, which means they are mentioned for different reasons on our Acknowledgments page.
