"Unlike natural disasters such as droughts, floods or earthquakes, hunger tends to go unnoticed by us, and therefore by society around the world."

Since a dedicated foundation is to be set up, Duke will definitely make the article full, "Hunger is not a specific place, it is widespread in slums, shantytowns and neglected rural areas on two continents. Hunger is also a problem. Not just at any given time, but over many years, the population of hungry children has continued to grow."

It has to be said that Pani Kelly's speech for Duke was very targeted.

"The abolition of slavery, the end of colonialism, the desegregation of racial segregation, environmental concerns, and the recognition of women's rights are all major social changes of our time that began with written promises and ended with deeds. After entering a new century, it is time for us to pay attention to children's issues."

The speech is not just an appeal, but also supported by data.

"Right now, 28 children lose their lives every day, and [-] children die every week. No natural disaster, whether floods or earthquakes, can claim the lives of so many children. The killers of children are some Starvation-induced diseases, the most horrific of which is dysentery-induced dehydration, 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 for a child, and it costs 84 cents a year to prevent children from getting dehydration. A lack of blindness! Children should be the greatest asset and the future hope of our world."

Speaking of this, Duke emphasized again, "Children are our most important resource and our hope for the future. We should not only ensure that children can maintain their lives. We should also keep them from emotional, social and physical. abuse. Only then will it be possible to envision a world free from insecurity and violence. It will be up to us to make this vision a reality.”

After such a long talk, he finally turned the topic to the newly established foundation, "D&S Children's Foundation is both a charitable organization and a humanitarian organization. It will not only provide welfare relief. It will also be in the largest possible scope , to help those people solve 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 outstretched for something, but silence but dignity , and the desire for the opportunity to help yourself.

"D&S Children's Foundation's duty is to protect children from hunger, thirst, disease, abuse and death!"

do these things.Of course, the slogan should be shouted louder.

"Thank you!"

Putting away the manuscript, Duke bowed slightly, and then walked off the stage.

There was warm applause off the stage, as if countless hungry children in Africa had been rescued from their plight because of Duke's words.

"Excellent speech."

As soon as he sat down, Duke heard his mother's words.He couldn't help smiling, gestured to the PR manager opposite with his eyes, and said, "I should thank Pani well later on."

"it is my responsibility."

Penny Kelly turned to Scarlett. "Honey, it's your turn."

"I have long been ready."

As another owner of the Foundation.Scarlett Johansson couldn't help but say a few words. Unlike Duke, who has never been to Africa, she gave a short speech and often participated in some political rallies in Hollywood.No advance drafting is required at all.

Scarlett walked onto the stage, and the audience applauded again.

"Thank you, thank you for your support!"

Her speech was much shorter, "We have entered the 21st century, and there are still many issues worthy of reflection."

Compared with an amateur player like Duke, Scarlett's burst of emotion is 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." .Among these people I saw children, with their swollen stomachs, their sad eyes, and their pained expressions..."

At this moment, Scarlett definitely has the level of an Oscar, "When the whole world is more connected today, we have also discovered an ironic fact-no matter whether the country is poor or rich, there will always be more or less people there." Fewer children are suffering. What is united by 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&S Children's Foundation is to bring the world's attention to these children, and to call on people not to forget these children, not to let them become victims of empty talk, and to help them be better." Live well."

Scarlett's eyes turned to Duke, "Just like Director Rosenberg said, in those places in Africa, what I see is not a hand stretching out for something, but silence but dignity, and the desire to have a chance for yourself. Help yourself crave!"

There was another warm applause in the banquet hall.

When the applause died down, 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 the contact between people has to be more and more frequent. We live in such an environment that those who are rich have an obligation and 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 the emotion just now, and asked, "How much money can we raise?"

Duke patted her hand lightly, "No matter how much is good."

He will not mess with his charitable foundation like other Hollywood stars. This must be a charitable foundation with open, transparent and clear accounts.

With Duke's net worth, there is no need to make money for charity.

The charitable foundations under the names of many Hollywood stars are often things that are squandered under the banner of charity.

To a certain extent, instead of trusting the charitable foundations of these stars, it is better to donate the money to the National Red Cross.

Corresponding to this is the amount of donations by celebrities. For example, how much money a celebrity has publicly declared to donate to a foundation, it is quite difficult to get this money into the account.

The model in this regard is Oprah. This time, the black woman known for her understanding and warm heart 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 few.

Duke certainly wouldn't invite someone like that.

Although he also has other purposes in doing charity, he has never bothered to do such unworthy things as bad debts.

Of course, such a party cannot do without a charity auction. A professional auctioneer from Sotheby's hosted the charity auction.

The first auctions are all items provided by the organizer.

The first thing that appeared on it was the handmade custom version of the crocodile leather bag provided by Mrs. Leah.

Even though it was an auction with no reserve price, the price was called up in an instant.

Sofia Coppola was the first to raise the number plate, "Fifty thousand dollars!"

Beside her, Charlize Theron smiled and said, "Sorry, Sophia."

After finishing speaking, she also raised her number plate, "Sixty thousand dollars!"

On a table in the front row, George Lucas's current girlfriend, Melody Hobson, also held up a number plate, "One hundred thousand dollars!"

Charlize Theron raised her placard again, "$200,000!"

The banquet hall gradually became quiet. Just as Sofia Coppola was about to raise her number plate, Scarlett Johansson next to Duke gestured to the stage.

"$300,000!"

Charlize Theron frowned slightly, but did not raise her placard again.

Scarlett Johansson bought the bag 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 is no conflict that is so deep that it cannot be adjusted, few people will bid wildly to increase the price after others show their intention to win.

Of course, there are always some exceptions, such as the next Duke to come up with the lot.

"This is a film of a student experiment filmed by Mr. Duke Rosenberg before he entered Hollywood. There is no reserve price!"

In Duke's eyes, the inexplicable things he photographed at the beginning were of no value at all.

But to others, it's quite different.

Especially those trying to impress Duke or remind him of his own existence.

"Mom, I want this film!"

After asking her mother, Taylor Swift was the first to raise the number plate, "Fifty thousand dollars!"

Scarlett would definitely not let Duke's things go outside, and stood up without hesitation, "$200,000!"

According to past experience, after she shows a strong purchase intention, no one will fight for her, but this time is an exception.

Charlize Theron glanced over there coldly, and also raised the number plate in her hand, "300,000 US dollars!"

Hearing this voice, Scarlett couldn't help turning her head to look over, and saw the unusually tall Charlize Theron at a glance, "400,000 US dollars."

In the back row, Taylor Swift's hands are far away from the number plate. For a person like her who has only released one single, it is undoubtedly an astronomical figure.

"US$400,000!" Charlize Theron also noticed Scarlett's gaze and just smiled.

Scarlett raised the price again, "$500,000."
