MUN week!

(My MUN badge, I know that is an awful picture)

Resolution after resolution being read, debated and voted for or against. Sitting in crowded rooms in suits or dresses sweating to death. People behaving like big babies, disturbing the peace and the order of the assembly just because they can. These first 3 days of MUN week have made it quite clear to me that I’m going to work for the United Nations no matter what. I LOVE THIS! I love when we all meat in the morning in the general assembly and everyone looks so serious, so business like. I love being able to have my say in these important matters that we discuss, even if the MUN debates have no influence on anything. I love meeting all these different people from different international schools in the east Africa region with all their different backgrounds and experiences, it feels like I’m really learning while doing this.

It hurts to say it but here it comes: the MUN coarse was actually worth it.

So far Ghana’s resolution is the only one of the Swedish resolution that has been debated and passed. Our (Bhutan’s) resolution was debated but failed due to lack of time and misunderstanding, fortunately we found out a way of re-debating a resolution which we are going to try out tomorrow. It is a long shot but we want to make sure we’ve done everything we can to get it true, and if it passed it would be a bit awesome. Saudi Arabia’s resolution is still to be debated, so wish us all luck!
