INTRODUCTION
“Legacy” and “impact” are terms with multifaceted meanings, encapsulating the essence of continuity, influence and transformation. Traditionally, “legacy” means “that which is inherited; a title or property or estate that passes by law to the heir on the death of the owner. A gift. Something acquired without compensation. Practices handed down from the past by tradition” . Conversely, impact denotes “the force of impression of one thing on another: a significant or major effect” . Yet, beyond their conventional definitions lies a deeper narrative of enduring significance and profound consequence.
