Motivational Speech:

Defenders of Wildlife

Good evening. Thank you all for being here and meeting on such short notice. First off, I would like to personally thank the ones who have been doing their parts in our volunteer project. Building a barrier for the protection of the jaguars is not an easy task and is greatly appreciated. However, out of the forty three of you who signed up for this project, only about fifteen of you have been consistently dedicated over the past month.

I would like to remind you that all help is appreciated and we value every participant who is willing to assist. I understand this is volunteer work and this is not the only responsibility you have in your life. With that being said, we made it very clear in our orientation speech that we want hard-working, dedicated individuals who want to make a difference. Being on time, meeting deadlines, and letting us know when you will not be able to make it are all things which have already been stressed and are expected from each and every one of you.

Although we have made some progress on the jaguar barrier, we are still behind schedule. Our goal is to double the participation of last month. Because this is a volunteer job and we cannot pay you, I will make a deal with you. By the end of this month of March, if we are back on schedule, and have at least thirty volunteers at each meeting throughout the month, building and helping out at the jaguar barrier, Toni’s pizza will deliver twenty pizzas at every meeting in April.

We are all these jaguars have, and if we step it up we can change their lives and generations to come. So let’s get it together and make a difference. Each and every one of you just being tells me you have got what it takes and really do care. I expect the best out of all of you. Let’s make this next month count so you can hopefully be sick of pizza by the end of April. Thank you for your time, and I am looking forward to seeing you next Saturday. Have a good night.
