SENTINELS IN SCHOOL WHO HAVE RECEIVED TRAINING
TO HELP:

| David Suzuki's Conference at Laval | http://www.relationsmedias.ulaval.ca/comm/2011/janvier/doctorat-honneur-david-suzuki-3171.html
For those who did not have the chance to attend, here is the link to watch a great speaker. The first 10 minutes is the somewhat pompous ceremony (some will find it hilarious) where Suzuki receives is Ph. D., followed by a quick introduction and biography about his career. Suzuki's conference begins at 18'45', up to 51' about.
It is an amazingly moving and motivating speech with some humor as well...It is also a fine example of good synthesis spirit and great communication.
I hope you will enjoy it.
