INTRODUCTION
鈥淟egacy鈥� and 鈥渋mpact鈥� are terms with multifaceted meanings, encapsulating the essence of continuity, influence and transformation. Traditionally, 鈥渓egacy鈥� means 鈥渢hat 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鈥� . Conversely, impact denotes 鈥渢he force of impression of one thing on another: a significant or major effect鈥� . Yet, beyond their conventional definitions lies a deeper narrative of enduring significance and profound consequence.
