Thank you so much,
Thank you.
Have a seat please.
I know
you have been standing a lot and
clapping and I know people get tired.
It's a human feelings.
I'm really honored that i'm here today
with so energetic passionate
and peace loving people I'm really happy
that the reason for which i'm here
is going to be hard
that is
and that is education.
This word seems a bit complex
but it simply means
the right to learning
and when I come to these stages
speak at the UN.
or give a nobel peace prize speech
I simply ask
that the right to learning
should be given to every child I ask for nothing else.
But unfortunately there are 57 million children
who are out of school
for some of us
this would be
a really sad news
a really shocking news maybe
and it might be happening like somewhere far away
from this world
but it is happening in this world
where we are living.
it's not on any other planet
the children we are speaking for are living on this earth.
they are our children
and they have the right to learn
but unfortunately
there are many people
who do not give this opportunity to children
either because they think that  children are
supposed to work for them
or their children don't deserve it,
either that it is against
or social taboos
or it is just a waste of money
and we have to fight against these mindsets.
So this is a collective campaign
and if you want to see that change
and if we want to see
every child getting quality education
then we have to work together
then we have to go on this journey
but together so I request all of you
to think today
how can you help?
how can you help these children
to go to school
and today i'm really happy
that at least
this award is given to the children to people who
campaign for children's rights.
so this is a big opportunity for us
to speak to the world
the children are facing many problems
and many  issues and now it is time to think
about the future generation
it is our duty
and i'm hopeful the change will come
one day we will see  every child
getting quality education but for that
we need to work together
we need to make it  our target
we need to make it our objective of life
and that's what I have done though i'm 17
not very tall
and very small
I have promised myself
that I will fight
for the rights of children
because I cannot forget their days
when every morning
I would see poor girls going to other
people's houses and suffer from child labor
and I considered it my duty to fight for their rights
I wanted to see them in school uniforms
holding books and pens in their hands
I wanted to see their future bright
if you don't educate children
means becomes a generation lost
so if you want to protect the next generation
you have to think about their education.
Thank you so much to all of you once again
I'm really happy, Thank you so much
Thank you.
