<h2>Irina Kudrina's speech</h2>
<p><img id="ea6f8e" class="imgl" title="Irina Kudrina" src="images/demo/20.jpg" alt="Irina Kudrina" width="200" />Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen,</p>
<p>I am delighted to be here tonight to personally congratulate all the wonderful people affiliated with RCWS on the occasion of the charity�s anniversary. And also to thank them for preserving for so many years the wonderful tradition of philanthropy — a tradition that was interrupted in Russia and is only now going through a rebirth.</p>
<p>Thanks to RCWS, we have found wonderful partners and friends among the children and personnel of the orphanages and other children�s organizations that the Severnaya Korona Foundation and RCWS have been supporting together for many years. As an example, this year a graduate of the Gagarinsk orphanage located in the Smolensk region of Russia took 3rd place in the «Create Your Own Style» competition during Moscow’s Fashion Week.</p>
<p>We truly do work with many remarkable, talented children. However, their prospects remain predictably grim. Thanks to people like you who are here tonight to celebrate the work of the RCWS, these children have a chance for a better future — they have an opportunity to change the path their life could take.</p>
<p>You have my deepest respect. And also my gratitude that you do not forget Russia. Happy anniversary to RCWS!</p>
