It is my pleasure and honor to welcome each one of you to this function. I would like to thank you all for sacrificing your time to be with us at this important occasion. I know you are very busy people, you could have sent an apology, but you chose to come and be here with us. I sincerely appreciate your coming. I am particularly delighted to welcome the representative to the Right Honorable Prime Minister of the Republic of Namibia, Honorable Nahas Angula who could not be here with us because of other national duties. We are further honored by the presence of Mrs. Francoise Le-Goff, the Head of Southern Africa Zone who travelled all the way from South Africa to witness this occasion. We are delighted that Mrs. Legoff could join us a very special welcome to you madam. I am pleased to acknowledge the presence of Mr. Hoveka The chairman of Rossing Uranium who is representing our donors. Ladies and gentlemen, I am equally delighted and privileged to welcome all our corporate donors represented here today to be part of this unique day dedicated to them. We are gathered here today because of your dedication and support you have given to the Society over the past years, and most importantly your contributions towards the 2008 flood disaster. We cannot emphasize enough how much the affected community appreciated your assistance and thus your presence here is merely to say thank you to you all on behalf of the entire Namibian community. I would also like to extend a warm welcome to all representatives from the media, who as usual are the eyes and ears of society who played an important role in exposing the plight and the dangers that were posed by the floods as well as keeping the whole nation informed on the disaster. Some of the media houses played an important role by using their services to solicit funds for the Namibia Red Cross Society from members of the public and from neighbouring South Africa. Distinguished guests, the Namibia Red Cross Society is deeply committed to support efforts of our government in meeting the needs of vulnerable people in our communities. Today is an indication of how the Namibia Red Cross Society being a humanitarian organization can forge a strong partnership with the corporate sector to render humanitarian aid to the vulnerable. As chairperson of Namibia Red Cross Society, I feel honored to be involved with the Red Cross Society where I have to say they make me work harder to bring smiles in the faces of the vulnerable members of our community. On behalf of the Namibia Red Cross Society, I wish to welcome all of you again to this occasion. Your presence is much appreciated. Thank you. |
