Today, seemingly was bit more professional and engaging. The chair
dispensed a crisis involving Kenya and U.S.A (Thankfully not
Germany). The issue: In order to attack, usa sends missiles to Kenya.
The Kenyan army had only women troops in the front line, who
supposedly died in the attack. With whatever proof they had, both the
delegates had to censure the opposite country. Some information here
and there was cooked up, nonetheless, they were strong enough.
Majority of the delegates were for 'empowering women', another four
were for 'empowering both genders' and there was a one delegate
against 'empowering women' (she was like the one woman army). She
seemed to take that choice just for the sake of talking and being
recognized. However, that is some guts! The chair cheered all
perspectives even though it was faulty. I joined the first bloc,
which is 'empowering women' since most of us were like-minded.
According to all of us women are being highly discouraged still in
many parts of the world and so that must be cut down first.
Post lunch, heavy lunch, we continued making our resolutions and
framing the statements in the required format. After we were done,
two delegates read it aloud. This was followed by votes from each
delegate; the chair called out the country name, and the respective
delegate may agree or disagree. If half or more of the delegates
agreed, then resolution is fortunately passed. This took a while. In
the meantime, the chair was seen taking note of the resolutions that
were accepted and that will be passed to the UN for approval. Also,
he made note of who the award winners will be.
At the end of it all, the CSW committee sessions's closing chapter
took place with a bang! Basically, a pick-up line session it was, but
delegates who didn't know any, could simply crack a joke or talk
whatever random stuff they wanted to. So I threw some pick-up lines
and it looked like they enjoyed it. I got a few compliments, that
apparently, made my day. The rest of the time was all funny and so I
laughed my heart out! We mingled all the while. Oh how I would miss
all this I thought to myself.
By late evening, in the closing ceremony they gave away the awards. I felt so proud when I witnessed so many students from our school win either first (best delegation) second, third, or the fourth (verbal mention) place. Above all, our school WON the 'BEST DELEGATION' among 8 schools and it gets a chance to directly enter and take part in the MUN in UN headquaters (the city of New York!!!!) So grateful I am to be a part of this frolic-filled episode.
Of course we demanded for a gala time in return! Our teachers agreed instantly and took us for a long walk by the lake, in the lovely weather whilst doing some window shopping and munching on dark chocolates and a delicious spicy snack. It was such a serene feeling to walk bare feet on the cold ground. Afterward, we went for pizza to dominos, followed by ice-cream at, I forgot where!
We
reached our cottages, got into our pajamas and came out for a
wonderful wonderful surprise: A BONFIRE! Sitting in a circle, we sang
and danced as though no one was watching. Plus played kinder garden
games, that was actually a perfect combo of downright liberty and fun
fun fun.
Rolf sir taught us
the interesting tribal dance! Next, some of the seniors, myself and
two of my other friends, played a captivating game of truth or dare.
With a 50 50 share of work and entertainment, this chapter closes on
a very cheerful note.
