"These charity events will be one of a kind," he grinned, "Several of our partners outside the country will fly in for them..."


    Murmurs arose as the representatives from the various charitable organizations shook their heads, equally impressed and satisfied with the ns that they had spun out.


    "Our uing charity events will make a significant impact on society." His gaze wandered the room and I could have sworn that his eyes shone with unshed tears, "It is extremely inspiring to see everyone here today, united in our dedication to these causes."


    The atmosphere brimmed with anticipation for the positive changes these coborations will surely bring


    to those in need.


    "It''s what brings us joy," one of the representatives chimed in. "Some of us actually live for this, you know. To see the smile on those helpless kids and patients, to see the relief in the slight droop of the parents'' or guardian''s shoulders. It''s therapeutic."


    The hall erupted in several forms of affirmatives..


    Then each representative was given the time to say their take and opinions on how better we could veer our ns to yield better results.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    For the third time, I spoke up to drop another of my opinions and everyone listened with rapt attention.


    "Coborating with foundations will amplify our impact and createsting change in the society. Our unity today will drive these efforts forward in a swift pace like we never imagined."


    They all nodded and I continued, "We must ensure our hospital support initiatives and other support and coboration programs reach those in need," I asserted passionately, jabbing my fingers on the desk. That is crucial. It is what makes all of us here, it is the only reason we are gathered here, to reach those in need, arge number of them, isn''t it?"


    My question prompted several nods of agreement from the audience.


    One of the representatives who was still bobbing his head added, "He is right. I don''t think most charity organizations pay enough attention to whether thesepanies they coborate with reach the right people. Also there''s been talk," he nced at a few of us, "You know, rumors, aboutpanies that only set up a front so as to get chosen amongst thepanies that charity organizations will be supporting."


    The room became noisy as everyone spoke up, either to the person beside them or directly to the current speaker, confirming that they had also heard such rumors and they expressed how greatly it bothered them.


    "The aim of our organizations will be diminished and belittled if we supportpanies that do not need help," his brow was deeply furrowed as he passionately expressed his dissatisfaction and worries. "It will be a shame if it is heard that we give any sort of push to foundations that only operate for the ie and earnings,panies that are not in existence to help the society and make humanity better." Everyone went ahead to share their ideas and worries on how to battle these frauds.


    The first speaker and overall coordinator eased our worries. "It has also reached my ears that this is the means that somepanies have chosen as their means to strive. And so we already have measures


    that will be taken to prevent supporting a fraudulent foundation or coborating with them. One of the methods, and might I say the most important that will be adopted, is that before agreement, we will do a thorough investigation of each foundation."


    There was a round of apuse at the proactiveness of the coordinating team.


    At the end of it all, I inserted, rounding up the meeting, am inspired by the dedication and vision shared here today and I am grateful." With a smile on my face, my eyes swept the audience. "Together, we can make a real difference in people''s lives through our collectivemitment to these noble causes."


    As the participants of the meeting dispersed and I shook hands with everyone, a man approached me.


    "Mr Thompson," he called with an extended hand. I took his hand and returned his awed smile.


    "I''m Dr. Reeves, Director of Drey''s Clinicals," he introduced himself warmly. "I wanted to personally thank you for partnering with us. Your reputation precedes you."


    "Oh, Dr Reeves, it is all thanks to the collective efforts of our teams and partners."


    After the brief discussion with Dr Reeves, I left the hall, nodding after pleasantries to a couple of others I met along the way.


    My phone rang out as I walked through the hallway that led to the exit of the hall. I reached into my pocket for the phone and as I was busy looking down at the caller''s ID that was disyed on the screen, I collided into someone, or rather, they bumped into me.
