here you go, Ms Kaur!

my speech;

A very good afternoon to Doctor Ong, teachers, fellow Crestians and also parents who are here with us today. My name is Nurul Ain, a representative of the PRCS welfare committee 2009’. It is my privilege to deliver this speech so as to put forward suggestions that will benefit the needy.

So many of us are strapped for cash these days, especially due to tough economic times. Sometimes, we wonder, what will happen to the poor? We wonder, are they in good hands then? My response to those questions is, yes, they will be affected and the only way to lighten their burden would be to lend a helping hand. Therefore, if you would like to lend a hand, here are some ways to help needy Crestians. These apply to anyone, regardless if you are rich or poor, old or young or where you live.

Firstly, if you meet someone, do greet him with sincerity. Say “Hello!” to anyone you pass by and do so with a sincere smile along with the greeting. You would be surprised how the faces of so many people light up just from this kind of act. They will be able to feel the warmth and care that you intend to spread.

Secondly, we feel that it would be good to hold a donation drive along with a “Jumble Sale” annually. It doesn’t matter how old it seems or how useless it may be, Crestians can donate their unwanted junk like clothes, storybooks or toys that will be put on sale during the funfair. The proceeds shall be given to the school to help the needy in terms of financial assistance.

Thirdly, if you know a tried and true trick in overcoming difficulties which you have experienced, don’t hesitate to help those in need. Share you thoughts and knowledge with those who are seen struggling with such issues. Just do so in a helpful manner. I am very sure that he or she will be very thankful for your efforts.

Sometimes, we must create opportunities for ourselves to be a help to someone, no matter how small it may be. We can advise and treat them sincerely, or help them in such a way that it would be beneficial to them like having donation drives. As long as we keep our eyes and heart open, we can help to save the minority. Like how the late Michael Jackson would’ve said, “Heal the world, make it a better place. For you and for me, and the entire human race.”

Therefore, I hope you have given it some thought and be convinced that such methods will meet the needs of the needy student population. Thank you for your attention.
