We hope you've enjoyed your summer and pursued interests you didn't have time for during the school year. Here is an update from our president, Renata:
On June 11th 2010, Renata Moniaga and Cindy Yang traveled to NYC to participate in the 2010 UNICEF Campus Initiative Summit. The three-day summit brought together over 200 UNICEF campus leaders from across the country. It was an opportunity to share best practices and learn from other campus groups. Caryl Stern, CEO of the US Fund for UNICEF and Cynthia McCaffrey, Vice President of the US Fund for UNICEF delivered inspiring speeches. Ms. McCaffrey, who was the keynote speaker for the 2009 International Development Conference, even gave the UNICEF-Georgetown group a shout out during her welcome address! On the last day, all the campus leaders staked 24,000 flags in the shape of a zero in order to promote the UNICEF 'Believe in Zero' campaign. The grueling yet rewarding effort was filmed and will soon be featured in a UNICEF promotional video. All in all, it was a great experience.
And here are some photos from the event:
See you all in a few weeks!
Best,
UNICEF-Georgetown
