So the semester is ending and my internship is coming to a close. Today is my last day here at the office, but it will not be my last day learning about the United Nations and the world. Through this internship, I have been able to grow and learn so much about the world and about myself. I hope that this blog has helped those who read it as well. My reason for writing this blog has not changed; it has gotten stronger. I WANT people to know what is going on at the United Nations. I WANT people to understand the world and the way it works. I WANT us to grow and be better people. Even though my internship is sadly coming to an end, I plan on still keeping everyone updated on the UN and what's in store especially with Post-2015. Please keep reading and I hope you guys have learned as much as I have these past 15 weeks.
As the MDGs come to a close, it is important to recognize that we must decide what we will view for post-2015. One important goal we must have in place is environment sustainability. Today I sat in a committee that discussed why sustainability is important. What do you guys think?
Good Morning! As part of my grading for this internship, I had to take part in a panel (and yes I was a panelist!) We each has to choose a topic that we found interesting as well as relate-able to our organization. The topic I chose was sexual violence, and boy was that a tough topic. Unfortunately statistics do not correctly comprehend to the public the nature and occurrence of such crimes. With this, I still believe I was able to communicate how we must work towards ending such crimes. The panel went so well and I am glad I was able to participate in it!
