DGMUN Ⅵ 的delegates，謝謝你們的認真參與，這學期的努力終於在今天畫下完美句點！

大家辛苦了，回家都好好休息吧！

SG、chair、co-chair三人團隊表現得很好，謝謝妳們幫忙協助掌控時間，讓活動真的在6點結束，真棒！

今年的名牌在Press Leader-瑀婷的巧思，Staff們的處理，實習老師敬媛的協助下，呈現出有各國的國旗的名牌，我好喜歡ㄝ！

Staff Leader-郁涵帶領的團隊，除了在事前忙著製作國名桌牌、名牌，手冊之外，這兩天的活動也都能一一配合安排做好該做的事，當今天晚上約七點，看到郁涵和瑀婷是最後走的，且前者還幫忙拎著兩大袋垃圾到垃圾場，感恩ㄝ！

瑀婷也和press的團隊如期完成不可能的任務-製作新聞刊物和回顧影片，本來還要印製團體照，但是我們已經將學校彩色印表機的油墨用光了，最後臨時更改版面，但是仍然完成得很精彩，甚至趕在一中MUN社長離開之前，送他一本，順便推薦我們的工作團隊，下次一中模聯也可以找我們協助喔！團體照我會找時間張貼在油印室旁「國際事務研討社」的公布欄上，謝謝大家！

今天看到這則新聞，期許有朝一日，我們也能組隊參加國際性的MUN，加油！

新訊》康橋模擬聯合國赴印度取經

2013/11/25 【聯合線上企劃╱林煥堯】

由印度Vidyaniketan School所舉辦的跨國際模擬聯合國會議，受邀之國際學生包括台灣、斯里蘭卡等國。新北市康橋雙語學校獲邀組隊參與盛會，該校吳志弘校長表示：學校日前組團遠赴印度，旨在希望讓學生藉由國際交流活動，開闊眼界、磨練技巧，而學生們脫穎而出的表現，令人驚豔。

 本次康橋雙語學校由指導教師Frankie Tsui 率領楊朋展、王滋遠、陳雋俐、何宣瑩 、星裕美、高毅修、李昱賢等七名優秀學生參與盛會。其中楊朋展與何宣瑩表現獲得主席特別稱讚，楊朋展表示：「過程中發現不同國家展現出不同的民族性，從文化、生活、飲食上都有明顯的差異，這次經驗非常寶貴，配合老師的指導，行前準備與討論則更能讓自己自信地站在各國菁英面前。」

王滋遠同學說：由於我們這次是代表伊拉克，自選主講「環境議題」，探討有關「如何處理有毒廢棄物？如何停止人類危害環境？」等敏感議題，在與各國代表共同研擬因應策略之時，看見許多優秀的同學表現出極佳的邏輯思考力、表達力。

指導教師Frankie Tsui指出：模擬聯合國（Model United Nations）簡稱MUN，係完全比照聯合國會議機制，針對國際社會各項問題進行討論。與會者將模擬不同國家的外交官，參照國際聯盟議事程序，針對國際間的關鍵問題取得共識，創造國與國之間的最大利益。主辦的印度學校學生態度嚴謹、遵守議事規則、各項準備資料齊全、流暢的英語表逹能力、充滿自信的大將風範，值得讚許。

康橋雙語學校預計於2014年5月率隊參加新加坡德明政府中學所舉辦之東協模擬聯合國會議，期盼學生藉由每一次跨國交流活動中吸取經驗，將寶貴的收穫帶回台灣。校長吳志弘強調，模擬聯合國全程用英文辯論、演說、討論，是全方位提升學生國際視野和領導力的高品質舞台。學校將以協助更多的學生站上國際舞台為重要目標。

Willie wrote a Position Paper and a Draft Resolution

I wrote a Position Paper and a Draft Resolution regarding the African Food crisis. MUN students can read my papers and see how I have written them. I hope they will help you understand what should be included in your papers.

Here is my position paper. Perhaps students want to read this in order to gain ideas for their own papers.

Position Paper

Committee: ECOSOC

Issue: The Food Crisis in Africa

Country: Angola (Willie McGuire)

       

        The United Nations must work to uphold basic human rights for all people. Among these rights is a standard of well-being that includes food, clothing, housing, and medical care. Food and shelter are basic needs for human beings. The continent of Africa is home to many of the world's poorest countries, and the current food crisis threatens people every day. 2011 saw the worst African drought in over 60 years. Climate change is speeding up the desertification of land. Many other factors add to the food shortage, including poor use of water and resources, a lack of organization, social instability, wars, and political corruption. While there is no simple answer to correcting all these problems, the delegate of Angola believes that careful planning, peace-making, and cooperation can create a solid foundation for building a sustainable and abundant culture of food production in Africa.

        Angola is located in the southwest part of central Africa, on the Atlantic coast. The nation became an independent republic in 1975, after a civil war. Prior to that time, the country had been considered a colony of Portugal for about 500 years. Although Angola is rich in mineral resources and agricultural commodities, many of our citizens still suffer from poverty, hunger, and disease. Like some other countries in Africa, Angola's famine is largely due to the fact that our society is not peaceful. Our politicians have repeatedly abused their power and authority, our people are divided and often at war with one another, and our economic policies are not fair to the average worker. Though we produce and export a lot of food, our agricultural policies seem to be aimed at short-term economic gain rather than food production and long-term sustainability, and many of our people still suffer from hunger.

        There are many groups that work to prevent hunger in Africa, and yet the problem remains. Angola's representative to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO), Mamoudou Diallo, made public statements about the food crisis on World Food Day, October 16. He said that ending hunger and poverty are primary goals of the Angolan government, and that supporting cooperative efforts will be important for increasing the food supply. Angola is ready and willing to help solve this problem in our country and in the rest of Africa.

        The FAO recently published an article on the importance of indigenous and aboriginal cultures. The article explained that traditional farming, herding, and hunting practices of indigenous cultures tend to protect biodiversity and forests. We ought to learn from these people. Environmentalists from Angola have criticized deforestation as a threat to the environment as well as a threat to traditional cultures. While large-scale commercial farming often thrives on deforestation, it seems that sustainable food production and culture demands the diversity of forests and the ability of herders to move and roam with their crops.

        To solve the problem of hunger in Africa, many actions must be initiated. It is necessary to support the cooperation of NGOs and environmental groups that protect against desertification and deforestation. These groups must work hand-in-hand with agricultural support groups who can educate farmers on resource management and help provide public spaces where livestock can move freely, without destroying the soil. Assistance in the form of food donations, access to water, seeds, and money must also be given to the countries in need, but we must do so in a way that doesn't harm the local economies; perhaps giving stamps or tickets to responsible farmers which they can exchange for seeds and farming supplies. These supplies can be paid for at a fair price through donations. Additionally, we must provide protection for indigenous cultures and learn about the sustainability of their ways.

        The problem of the food crisis cannot be fixed from the top going downward. Indeed, we must work from the bottom and go up. The base of society must be peaceful and stable in order to build and organize an effective community. So, in resolving the African food crisis, the UN should focus not only on food, the environment, and agriculture, but also on social stability and peaceful relations. We should send in groups of diplomats to encourage social harmony, economic equality, and opportunities for improvement. We must encourage politicians to end corruption and stop the wars. We must work hard to end despair and violence in society, so that people are ready to cooperate and work towards long-term goals that can bring food to people now and in the future.

The Draft Resolution should be written as one continuous sentence. The clauses in the preamble should end with comma, and the operative clauses end with semi-colon; except for the final clause, which ends with a period. The words that introduce clauses in the preamble should be in italics, and the words that introduce operative clauses should be underlined.
