Chapter 662 Charity Auction
Unlike natural disasters such as droughts, floods or earthquakes, hunger is often overlooked by us and therefore not noticed by society around the world.
Now that a dedicated foundation is to be established, Duke will definitely make enough of the article, The problem of hunger is not only a specific place, it is widespread in slums, shantytowns and neglected rural areas on both continents. Hunger is also a problem. Not only at specific times, but the number of hungry children has continued to grow for many years.
It has to be said that Panney Kelly's speech for Duke was very targeted.
The abolition of slavery, the end of colonialism, the desegregation of apartheid, environmental concerns, and recognition of women's rights are all major contemporary social changes that begin with promises in words and end in action. As we enter a new century, it's time we focus on children's issues.
The speech was not only an appeal, but also supported by data.
“Now, 40,000 children die every day, and 280,000 children die every week. No natural disaster, whether floods or earthquakes, can claim the lives of so many children. Killers of children These are diseases caused by starvation, the most terrifying of which is dehydration caused by dysentery, which is caused by drinking unsanitary water and malnutrition.
Duke raised his head, looked at the person sitting below, and said, These diseases are actually preventable. It only costs 6 cents to prevent dehydration in a child, and it costs 84 cents a year to prevent children from vitamin D. A lack of blindness! Children should be the greatest asset and the hope for the future of our world.
Having said this, Duke emphasized again, Children are our most important resource and our hope for the future. We should not only ensure that children can sustain life. We should also keep them away from emotional, social and physical. Only then is it possible to envision a world free from insecurity and violence. It is up to us to make this vision a reality.”
After so long-winded, he finally turned the topic to the foundation that had just been established, D\u0026S Children's Foundation is both a charitable organization and a humanitarian organization. It will provide welfare relief. It will also be within the maximum possible range. , to help those people with their future problems.Miss Scarlett Johansson has been to African countries such as Ethiopia and Sudan. She told me that in these places, what you see is not a hand that asks for something, but silence and dignity , and a desire for the opportunity to help themselves.
D\u0026S UNICEF's job is to protect children from hunger, thirst, disease, abuse and death!
do these things. Of course, the slogan should be shouted louder.
thanks!
Putting away the manuscript, Duke bowed slightly and walked off the stage.
There was warm applause off the stage, as if countless hungry children in Africa had been rescued from the predicament by Duke's remarks.
Excellent speech.
As soon as he sat down, Duke heard his mother's words. He couldn't help but smiled, gestured with his eyes to the public relations manager on the opposite side, and said, I should thank Pani well when I look back.
it is my responsibility.
Penny Kelly turned to Scarlett. My dear, it's your turn.
I have long been ready.
as another owner of the foundation. Scarlett Johansson also inevitably went up and said a few words. Unlike Duke, who had never been to Africa, her speech was quite brief, and she often participated in some political gatherings in Hollywood. No pre-drafting required at all.
Scarlett stepped onto the stage, and the audience was greeted with warm applause.
Thank you, thank you for your support!
Her speech was much shorter, We have entered the 21st century, and there are still many questions to reflect on.
Compared with an amateur player like Duke, Scarlett's emotions are more sincere. We looked around and found that the promises made in the past have not been fulfilled. There are still many people living in poverty and suffering from hunger. . And among these people I see children, with their swollen stomachs, their sad eyes, and their pained expressions...
At this moment, Scarlett definitely has the level of Oscar, When the whole world is more connected today, we also find an ironic fact - whether the country is rich or poor, there will always be more or less. Children, or less, are suffering. What unifies after globalization is our neglect, abuse and lack of love for them.”
She turned her head, pointed to the foundation logo on the background, and said, The mission of D\u0026S UNICEF is to bring the world's attention to these children, to call on people not to forget these children, not to let them fall prey to empty talk, and to help them become more Live well.
Scarlett's eyes turned to Duke, Like Director Rosenberg said, in those parts of Africa, what I see is not a hand reaching out for something, but silence but dignity, and a sense of opportunity Help your own desire!
There was another round of applause in the banquet hall.
When the applause waned a little, Scarlett Johansson said with red eyes, The world is inherently unfair. But there is only one world, and it is getting smaller and smaller, and people have to contact more and more frequently. We live in an environment where those who are rich have an obligation and a responsibility to help those who have nothing!
She bent down and bowed, Thank you!
After walking off the stage, Scarlett returned to this table and sat next to Duke again. She seemed to have not shaken off her emotions and asked, How much money can we raise?
Duke patted her hand lightly, No matter how much is good.
He will not be like other Hollywood stars, doing his own work on his charitable foundation, which is bound to be a charitable foundation with open, transparent and clear accounts.
With Duke's net worth, there is no need to make donations.
The charitable foundations under the names of many Hollywood stars are often splurges under the banner of charity.
To some extent, instead of trusting the charitable foundations of these stars, it is better to donate the money to the National Red Cross.
Correspondingly, it is the amount of donations from celebrities. For example, a celebrity publicly declares how much money it has donated to a certain foundation. It is quite difficult to get this money into the account.
An example of this is Oprah. This time, a black woman who is known for her empathy and kindness, is a well-known professional accountant. From time to time, she will throw a donation amount on someone's show, but the number of times it is realized is very small.
Duke certainly wouldn't invite such a person.
Although he has other motives for charity, he has never been disdainful of doing things like bad debts.
Such a party is of course an indispensable part of the charity auction. A professional auctioneer from Sotheby's presided over the charity auction.
The first auction is the lot provided by the organizer.
The first to appear above is a hand-made customized version of the crocodile leather bag provided by Mrs. Leah.
Although it was an auction with no reserve price, the price was immediately shouted up.
Sofia Coppola was the first to hold up the number plate, Five thousand dollars!
Right next to her, Charlize Theron smiled and said, I'm sorry, Sophia.
After speaking, she also raised her number plate, Sixty thousand dollars!
On a table in the front row, Melody Hobson, the current girlfriend of George Lucas, also raised the number plate, One hundred thousand dollars!
Charlize Theron raised his placard again, 200,000 dollars!
The banquet hall gradually became quiet. Sofia Coppola was about to raise her number plate when Scarlett Johansson next to Duke made a gesture to the stage.
Three hundred thousand dollars!
Charlize Theron frowned slightly, but did not raise his placard again.
The purse was eventually brought back by Scarlett Johansson for $300,000.
Subsequently, a pair of emerald earrings donated by Scarlett was auctioned by Duke for $400,000.
This is a charity auction, just like the initial bidding. As long as there are no conflicts that are too deep to be adjusted, few people will bid frantically and increase the price after others show their intention to win.
Of course, there are always exceptions, like the next Duke lot.
This is a film of a student experiment film that Mr. Duke Rosenberg made before he entered Hollywood. There is no reserve price!
In Duke's eyes, the inexplicable things he photographed in the first place had no value at all.
But to others, it was very different.
Especially those who want to impress Duke or remind him of his own existence.
Mom, I want this film!
After asking his mother, Taylor Swift was the first to hold up the number plate, Five thousand dollars!
Scarlett definitely wouldn't let Duke's things go out, and she stood up without hesitation, $200,000!
According to past experience, after she shows a strong purchase intention, there is usually no more competition, but this time is an exception.
Charlize Theron glanced over there coldly, and raised the number plate in his hand, Three hundred thousand dollars!
Hearing this voice, Scarlett couldn't help turning her head to look over, and she saw the unusually tall Charlize Theron at a glance, 400,000 dollars.
In the back row, Taylor Swift's hand has moved away from the number plate, which is undoubtedly an astronomical number for someone like her who has only released a single.
400,000 dollars! Charlize Theron also noticed Scarlett's gaze, but only showed a smile.
Scarlett raised the price again, Five hundred thousand dollars.
Ask for monthly tickets and recommended tickets! It's the end of the month, students who have monthly passes should give them a few more. (To be continued ^)
