We are excited to announce that two of our MUN high school participants, Associate Director, and a volunteer will be headed to Ibague, Colombia next week to learn more about the Plan Padrino Program which we support through our Model United Nations program. The Plan Padrino Program (translated God Father) provides sustainable funds for school, school supplies, and school uniforms for under-served students in Colombia. Every other year we have had the privilege of bringing a group of students from Colombia to our MUN conferences and this year, we are pleased to take a group of American students there. We hope that the trip will provide participants with a deeper cultural understanding and awareness that will aid in teaching our MUN students and the students in Colombia about the world and the many perspectives of those that inhabit it. Be sure to follow our blog over the next two weeks so you can stay up to date on our trip with pictures, videos, and stories as we travel to Ibague and Bogota!
