Script:
(M) It is my great pleasure to welcome here tonight, Francisco De Souza, renowned businessman and philanthropist. Mr. De Souza will be talking to us about his experiences in poverty-stricken areas of Southeast Asia, where he has been giving business lectures and start-up loans to communities for the past ten years.
Mr. De Souza will be explaining how his loans project has enabled numerous communities to set up their own plumbing and sewage systems, saving the lives of infants and the elderly thanks to the availability of clean water. These loans, contrary to what you might expect, are not interest-free, and Mr. De Souza will be explaining the loan-repayment system that he has established. I think you′ll be surprised at the details. Mr. De Souza, I hand the stage over to you.
