A Speech Presented By Queen Jasmine Nkem Mbonu On Jasmine's Foundation Launch



Queen Jasmine Nkem Mbonu
The Chairman of the occasion, special guest of honour, Mrs. Sarah Jubril, Special Assistant to the President on Ethics and Value, The Hon. Commissioner for Women Affairs, Anambra State Lady Harietta Agbata,  My Parents, the Management and staff of Glees Concepts Limited, All members of the high table, distinguished ladies and gentle men.
I am most grateful to God Almighty from whose mercy, guidance and wisdom this occasion beams the light of this success.
A dream of a lifetime can only be actualised when God’s approval commands the needed human strength to march the demands of life’s struggle to meet with available physical opportunities.
This actualisation becomes even more possible particularly when that dream is geared towards a selfless service to humanity.
Queen Jasmine With the Kids
At this point, I must submit my profound openness of mind and sincerity that the whole essence of this foundation is to serve humanity, more especially the motherless and fatherless children in our state in particular and Nigeria in general. Yes the Jasmine Foundation is conceived and born to give love to those children who lack the dear love and care of parents. Not only that this foundation shall provide love, it will also offer them the opportunity to receive the greatest gift a parent can give to a beloved child - education.
As we all know, sound and qualitative education to a child is the
assurance of a better tomorrow both for the child and the entire society. A society that cannot guarantee the education of their children has simply built an unavoidable perpetual conflict for their future.

Conscious of these realities, the Jasmine Foundation shall work relentlessly to ensure that a better and prosperous future is assured for these orphans through the sourcing of a sound and sustainable educational provision and adequate health care. Besides the above, it is also important at this juncture that I remind everybody present that I am the MOST BEAUTIFUL STUDENT IN NIGERIA: - MBSN Democracy. This particular prestigious crown gave me the responsibility to seek and maintain peace in all Nigerian Campuses as the Campus Peace Ambassador. By that commitment, this foundation is tasked to originate and organise seminars and Symposiums that can engender peace and unity among students in our tertiary institutions across the federation at periodic intervals.

Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, let me confess that these tasks before me as the owner of the foundation cannot be successfully tackled if your support is not added to my determination and willingness to offer all these services to humanity. The dream of my life will not be actualized if I cannot count on your patriotic and selfless support and sponsorship. As we all know, no man is an Island. In all human history, no man has realized an aspiration without the meaningful contributions of his compatriots. Remember that the greatness of America today is founded on the solid rock of Americans’ support to a patriot’s mission, no matter how small.
My beloved people of Nigeria I want to ask of your support and sponsorship to this noble humanitarian project of mine. By
supporting this, you will be investing in the future life if so many children and at the same time ensuring a hopeful and blissful future for generations yet unknown.
By supporting the Jasmine Foundation, you will be contributing to a project that will establish that biblical peace that passeth all understanding. You will also be supporting a crusade that will enhance decent electoral exercises in Nigeria because it is the desire of this foundation to use responsible Nigerian students to send messages that will prompt Nigerians to respect and adhere strictly to electoral rules and regulations.

Beloved Anambrarians and fellow Nigerians, the future of Nigeria is bright if we can all seek peace and love for one another at all times.

I promise that this foundation shall partner with other relevant Ngos’ to ensure that our objectives are met.
While giving my indivisible thanks to God Almighty for this length so far, I am particularly grateful to my mother, Mrs. Edith Mbonu, the Governor of Anambra State — Mr Peter Obi, the Hon. Commissioner for Women Affairs, Mrs Harientta Agbata and the SA to Deputy Senate President, Mr. Mike EKweremmadu. Prof Dora Akunyili is specially thanked for her presence here and for the unforgettable contributions she has made for humanity.

                                        Her Majesty Queen Jasmine Mbonu
                                               MBSN DEMOCRACY 2012
