You also incorporated humor into the speech which I think is necessary when talking about something so sad but I think you should do next time is maybe incorporate a little less funny jokes just to show you are truly saddened by what's going on. I think adding the visual aid was really important because I think it helped keep you on track and on pace.

I just want everyone to get a fair shot and because of child labor, it feels like they don't even get a chance and that's what truly saddens
