Vote of Thanks Speech 3

"Honourable Chief Guest, Honourable DCP, Dear Organisers and Visitors!

Today we have gathered here to celebrate the success of the initiative called ‘Love mankind’. The project was started two years ago and I am extremely glad to share that it has been going highly successful since then. It’s indeed an honour and a matter of great joy for me to extend a vote of thanks to all those who have contributed in making this project a great success.

Our NGO was established 10 years ago, the same day today, with an objective to save small children, minors and women from trafficking. Even though we are an independent organisation but we are highly admired by the local residents; we also get support from the local authority and the local police in this area and other areas too where we operate. Two months ago we received a complaint from the parents of some school students that their kids were continuously seeing a beggar child crying outside their school gate; that child also had some bruises on his body. To know more about this incident, we sent some of our workers in that area and they also noticed the same thing. We involved local police in order to further question the child.

We came to know that he had lost his parents and was forced into begging by some strangers. We carried a raid on the address shared by the child and rescued around 50 children from there. These children are with us as of now and we are trying every attempt to send them to their respective parents, once they recall their address, etc. Our NGO works for the benefit of deprived children and we protect them against crimes such as trafficking, exploitation, etc. We run several schools in remote areas which operate 24 hours for imparting education to homeless children who do not go to school because of some or the other reason.

I would like to share special thanks with DCP Mr. A for deploying policemen in such areas where begging is more prevalent. The department has always helped us whenever we want to in carrying out a raid or investigation, etc.  We would also like to thank the industrialists Mr. B, Mrs. C and Mr. D & Sons for their continuous support in the form of donation; we use the donation money in opening up schools, buying necessery items for the children, installing medical camps, etc. We would also like to thank School authorities and the teachers in our area who work as guest teachers in our schools. Thanks to the residents of this locality who don’t employ small children in the form of domestic help rather support their education and other basic necessities. In fact, some of the youth of these residents also work with us on voluntary basis.

We have made groups of five people each, deployed each group in remote areas of all those states from where children and women are imported in huge numbers to the metro cities for begging, prostitution, domestic help, etc. The parents of these remote areas have many kids and they are so poor that they cannot even afford the upbringing and education of all the kids. We offer source of income to such women through art and craft. By imparting basic education in these areas we have been able to make the families and their kids self-dependent.

I would acknowledge that this wouldn’t have been successful without your help. Let’s continue with the good work always.

Thank You!
