00:00Welcome to the White House. It is truly inspiring to see everyone gather here together, united in
00:20support of this remarkable initiative and community. As I stand here and observe the audience,
00:27I recognize the vital importance of each one of you to this mission, to our future generations.
00:39In particular, I would like to thank the cabinet secretaries, congress members, scholarship donors,
00:46and various organizations for their unending advocacy. A special thank you to my husband
00:55for his enduring commitment to fostering the future. The president has prioritized America's
01:03foster care children, and shortly, he will sign our Fostering the Future executive order.
01:11Too many people from foster care community end up homeless, in danger on America's streets.
01:19It was 2021 when I developed the idea to establish an impactful platform with an important mission to provide individuals from the foster care community
01:33the ability to secure an entry-level job position and, in turn, financial independence.
01:42Fostering the Future, a Be Best initiative, provides individuals from the foster care community with technology-based scholarships to attend colleges and universities throughout America.
02:00Fostering the Future sets these individuals on their career paths, but more significantly,
02:06it equips each scholarship recipient with a fundamental foundation of knowledge that will endure throughout their lifetimes.
02:18Permanency for those who embody the fleeting.
02:23I applaud the American universities that have joined my mission, institutions like
02:30Wanderpilt University, University of Miami, and Villanova University.
02:37Following graduation, scholarship recipients from my program are prepared to enter the work force and ultimately become leading executives.
02:49Predictably, they will manage thousands of employees and generate significant value for American communities through job creation,
02:59access to healthcare, food security, and other societal benefits.
03:06This executive order, fostering the future for American children and families, gives me tremendous pride.
03:16It is both empathetic and strategic.
03:21It will certainly be impactful.
03:24It aims to establish a comprehensive network connecting federal departments and agencies, pride of private sector businesses,
03:34higher learning institutions, and charitable organizations.
03:39This will create new educational and employment opportunities countrywide.
03:45Our faith-based organizations will continue playing a vital and consequential role.
03:55My hope, of course, is that this level of coordinated collaboration will sustain.
04:01But today, I call on leadership from these various organizations, including the private sector, to join my effort.
04:10Rise above the ease of inaction.
04:15I predict this small spark today will ignite a profound and lasting nationwide movement.
04:22Our united resolve will foster a thriving future filled with compassion and innovation.
04:30Together, we will illuminate the pathway for today's foster children to become tomorrow's builders.
04:40And tomorrow's builders will foster the future of America's legacy.
05:05Ahn普.
05:06Have a great job and understand you.
