“Ladies and Gentlemen dear guests, parents and friends, hello,
This meeting today has not happened through chance. It is the proof of solidarity, empathy and the love that people have for the student members of More Schooling who live in difficult conditions; conditions which prevent us from developing.
I do not forget in my thanks all the people who have worked at the success of this important event which aims to reduce to a certain extent the difficulties for our parents and enables the continuation of schooling for all 100 members of the association. Thank you for helping in us in our cause, our blooming, our success, in one word our life. I will not finish without addressing to our great thanks the Director of the Radio Fraternity F.M and his personnel, Mr MEDE Moussa Yaya, and especially to the President of the Association Mr SODANSOU Barthélémy and his team who work tirelessly for More Schooling.
Our gratitude also goes towards the Families PORTER’S, MILLS’, ROBERTS’, with Mrs Anna OBURA and other natural persons of which it would be too tiresome to quote all the names here. All in all, we promise that your efforts will not be vain.
That God blesses the work of your hands that aims to reduce poverty and make Benin a truly emergent country. I thank you”.
