COMUN

OSC takes part in COMUN. COMUN is an initiative of the Overseas School of Colombo. It is scheduled to be held from the 4th till the 6th of March 2011. This year, I've been choosen to be the delegate of India, in ECOSOC. This year ECOSOC will debate the following topics: 

1) Maintaining sustainable economic development in LEDCs and HIPCs, with emphasis on ODA and Debt Relief.

2) Disaster risk reduction, disaster relief management and prevention of forced eviction, in view of and following Natural Disasters; with emphasis on individuals in disputed territories.

There have been three practise, to which I have attended two. In these two debates, I talked more than I thought that I would have. I increased my awareness of my own strength and areas of growth, as a was able to speak without being scared and protray my ideas and India's viewpoint of problems. I  I also learnt a lot about India. As I kept on debating, my self-confidence also rose. However, I hope that I do as well in the real conference.
