## Transcript

First of all, thank you very much for having me tonight. I greatly appreciate the amount of skill and honor that are in this room any amount of willingness to help solve the problems of the world. I have been around the amazing people today and will be the rest of the week. But I want to say to all of you what inspires me what hurts me what kills me when I see what happens and that's hunger. I've had both the opportunity and the dismay of having said to a woman I don't have the food for you. I don't have it. What can I do? And so I appeal to all of you because what inspires the world is we got to do better we have to do more we have to maintain those that with that cannot help themselves.

We've got to help them. That's why we're here. That's why we're here with time 100 and So grateful for your honor and more importantly, what do we do going forward? We talked a great game. We talked many many many meetings xcetera, but more importantly, what do we do? And should we do it and can we do it? So I appeal to all of you tonight to do the same thing did our honored guests have done through the years. We've all revered a land, of course Dr. Goodall and many more in this room for the things that you have made prosperous and good for us and give us hope. So if I can give all of you hope I would do this tonight.

The one person that haven't has inspired me through the years. Of course my husband and why did he do that? Because he believed in the goodness of this world. He believed that people had a right to food. He believed it people had a right to dignity and honor those are the things that we work for. That's why we're here. Why we do what we do, so, please raise a glass tonight in honor of those who do not have dignity that deserve dignity and more importantly should have the right to prison to persevere their families and their lives, please join me. I don't have a blast, but please thank you. Thank you.
