[ applause ] [ speak being foreigning Foreign Language ] [ speaking Foreign Language ] friends, Noble Committee inviting me to present a lecture. Respectfully, i am unable to do that, because i am presenting here, the sound of silence. The cry of innocence, and the face of invisibility. Those children who are left behind. Thats why, i have kept an empty chair as to remind us. As a reminder. I have come here only to share the voices and dreams of our children. Because they are all our children. I have looked into their frighteppfrigh frightened and exhausted eyes. I have held their injured bodies and have felt their broken spirits. 20 years ago, in the foot hills, a small, skinny child. He asked me, is the world so poor, instead of forcing me to take a gun. A child soldier that was kidnapped boy an extremist militia. As his first lesson, he was forced to kill his friends and family.
