When Love Happens!

"Ahhh!! Those murderous looks by my dear investors!!!" Jacob chuckled loudly, while speaking over microphone, addressing to the audience.

Suddenly the entire hall errupted in laughter, making the company's staff get shell- shocked. The boy's confidence and no- filter attitude has no bounds.

After the laughter mellowed down a bit, Jacob started with his speech in a rather serious and mature way.

"Excellences, ladies and gentlemen, dear friends,It is inspiring and encouraging to be here today, among so many partners for education.        

Investing in education is perhaps the most important investment  any government or conpany can make. When we invest in young childrens' education, we invest in the future.

When we build new schools, we are building a safer, more prosperous world for us all.  Lack of education is, I believe, one of the main reasons why 1.2 billion people are still living in extreme poverty.

As a former president of Harword University, My dad, puts it: "If you think education is expensive, try ignorance." 

The challenges we face are huge: 58 million children and 63 million adolescents remain out of school. 250 million children and young people are not learning the basic skills that they need to enter the labour market. 

If we are to succeed in laying the foundation for change – and eradicating extreme poverty by 2030, we must invest more in access to quality education for all.

I would like to make four points today: 

First: the right to education should be realised for all – for all groups, in all countries, and for boys and girls.

Girls have the same right as boys, not only to have access to education –but also to complete their education. Every community and country that succeeds in achieving gender equality in education, will see the benefits in terms of enhanced health, equality and job creation in the future.

We must also make sure that minorities and marginalised groups, particularly children with disabilities, are not left behind."

Suddenly the hall errupted in a thunderous round of applause. Jacob paused for a while and smiled at the investors, who were now smiling at him.
