Isaiah 58: 11

Isaiah 58:11

The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.

Model United Nations

This past week Max took part in The Hague International Model United Nations Conference taking place in Doha. This is an annual event that hosts 1500 students from around the world acting as the members of a real-life United Nations Conference.
 The students each have a role to play: Secretary General, President of the Assembly, Ambassador for a country, Delegate from a country, Member of the Press, Administrative Support, etc. Max was part of the Technology Support Team and this was his first international MUN conference.

Max thoroughly enjoyed listening to the student delegates debate current topics from around the world. The students debated resolutions about food and water security in the Middle East, protecting World Heritage sites in regions of conflict, funding mechanisms of the Palestinian Authority, protecting human rights at border crossings, the role of religious organizations in the political process, the question of Syria, the protection of Arabic language and culture.
