EFA- Pies and Crepes

I joined EFA last month and so far I feel that we are doing great. We did a pie sale for the week before Thanksgiving break and it was very sucessful. I made a chocolate creme pie and the entire thing sold. I am glad that I was part of something that helped raise so much money. Next we are having a crepe sale and I am in charge of bringing peanut butter and cinniomon. I hope that I can help make this one as succesful as the last sale.

We also want to work on spreading the news of what our mission is because it is not only important to the club to raise money but to all tell people why we are raising money and to help raise awareness of the problems of education in the Middle East and the importance of it. I am reasponible with another group member to make information phanphlets that tell about the project. Its a big reasponsiblity because they have to be good if we ant to really get the word out. I will try my hardest to create a very infomative and understandable panphlet.

MUN- Comitties

We have now chosen our own committees that we will be working on in our country this year in MUN. Last year I chose to be one legal commitee where we mostly focused on the problems of patents and third world countries. This year I wanted to try something new and so I chose military weapons. I chose it because one of the topis will be landmines and the problems surround old undiscovered ones. This is something new and it seems very interesting so I wanted to work on it. I have heard of undiscovered landmines leftover from wars blowing up inocent civilians that happen to tred unknowingly on them and either suffer major injuries or die. This is horrible and I want to know more about it so that I will have a better understanding of this problem our world faces and a better understanding on how to fix such a problem.

One thing that is new this year is that I am working in my committe with a freshman who is new to MUN. This is different because last year a was on a committee with two other people and both of them had been on MUN before and I was the new one. This year I will try to help her because I am more experienced and I know that I appreciated having help when I was new last year. I am excited about being able to help more people in the group because we have a lot of new members this year.
