Model UN with 8th Period

Last week, for 8th period, my classmate Ayanna and I were researching HIV/AIDS in Cuba. We did this so that we could go to a pseudo-UN meeting, called Model UN, and represent Cuba on the topic of HIV/AIDS and youth, in the UN division of UNICEF, the Unite Nations Children's Fund. This is a great experience because it gives us perspective on what goes on in the real meetings. I learned that Cuba only has POINT ONE (.1) percent of their population affected by AIDS. I liked when we had moderated Caucasus. I didn't like that it took so long. Overall, it was a great experience.
