WELCOME TO PUBLIC SPEAKING SPEECH110 C.ShoreFall 2015 East San Gabriel Valley, ROP #BrightFuture At Unilever Project Sunlight, we looked for young individuals with speeches that have ignited the imagination of others to empower them to build a sustainable future. There are many challenges ahead. In the UK today, 11,500 tonnes of food will be thrown away, yet one in five families will struggle to put food on the table. We have already provided two million meals to British families through our partnership with Oxfam UK. With your help we will provide half a million more. #ClearAPlate because no one should struggle to feed their family while food is being wasted.
