Hello everybody, hello to you wonderful people of Exeter. And uh…and to you great supporters of the Exeter City Football Club. [laughs] Welcome to the all great fans that have come from near and far, and to all you children..I’m very happy..very happy to be here with you today.
Today, today we come here to support children, we come here to support children with AIDS. We share our love for the children to help, to help the youngest of those affected by HIV and AIDS. We will help them to build a good future, all of us working together for them, a future without prejudice for these children and their families.
We are here to help and support the people of Africa to find a solution in the fight against the spread of HIV/AIDS…and malaria, through education and awareness. We aim at prevention, but we help with cure. We are here to support you, the supporters and players of this great football club.
Sadly, sadly we live in a state of fear. Everyday we hear of war..on the news, on the radio, and television, in the newspapers..always of war. We hear of nations hurting each other, of neighbors hurting each other, of families hurting each other, and of children killing each other. We must live and learn to love each other before it’s too late. We have to STOP!
We, we have to stop the prejudice, we have to stop the hating, we have to stop living in fear of our own neighbors.I would like all of you now to take the hand of the person to the left and to the right of you. Go ahead, right now..I mean it, don’t be shy..do it. It starts now! To the person next to you, to the left and the right…I mean it, right now. Go ahead..don’t be shy..do it…do it. Now tell the person, tell the person next to you that you care for them! Tell them that you care for them, tell them that you love them! Tell them that you love them! This is what makes the difference..
Together…[Crowd chants Michael’s name]
Together we can make a change in the world. Together we can help to stop racism. Together we can help to stop prejudice…we can help the world live without fear. It is our only hope, and without hope.. we are lost.
