Discussion during Model UN in Nairobi
United Nations Information Centre (UNIC) Nairobi participated in the Middle School Model United Nations (MUN) conference at the UN Complex which was held between 28 and 30 January 2009. The MUN focused on subjects such as human rights, ecology, health, technology, and the Security Council and the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
The MUN was attended by 750 delegates from 29 Nairobi schools, as well as one from Uganda. In addition, the students held a charity event where money was raised to be used by the Kenya Red Cross to improve the situation for a great number of the 10 million starving people in Kenya.
UNON Chief of Conference Services, with support from the UNIC Director, addressed the students at the close of the conference.
