Welcome to UNICEF @ Baruch Workshop
Walking into the UNICEF at Baruch Workshop on September, 7th 2017 was really an interesting and fun experience. When I first walked inside the room where the workshop took place, the members of UNICEF at Baruch welcomed me with all smiles and pizza! One thing that steals my heart is free food. They made me really happy.
After everyone ate their pizza and everyone settle in the members of UNICEF introduce themselves starting with a girl name Joslyn. Joslyn is the secondary of UNICEF at Baruch. Other members of the UNICEF at Baruch are Mina and Alex. Mina is the Vice President of events and fundraising and Alex is the President of events and fundraising. Another member of UNICEF at Baruch is Hidey. Hidey is the Vice President of sponsorships. She works with other clubs to get aid from them, promotes the club around the school, and also get others from different clubs to also help out with events and return the favor back.
After everyone introduce themselves, they went in to explain what UNICEF at Baruch is about and what they do. UNICEF at Baruch is a club to organize students to help the survival, protection, and development of children worldwide through education, advocacy and fundraising. They meet 2 to 3 times per month and host at least 1 to 2 events per month and raises awareness to the children that die every day from preventable causes. Some events they held was “Not an Alternative faces panel for Refugees”, “International food fair”, and “Global show case”. The international food fair was a fundraiser where students bring food originated from all over the world to sell. The Global show case was a fundraiser that showed students art work. UNICEF at Baruch work for the survival, protection, Education and Emergencies for children in more than 190 countries to help all children receive a chance to reach their full potential. UNICEF at Baruch motto is “Every child deserves a fair chance in life”. They work with children that have no funds to go to school. Also that is going through any kind of abuse at home, children that has no home to live in or no food to eat and more. UNICEF at Baruch mission statement is “A college student can have a impact”. They want college students to fundraise for children awareness. After they explained what they do and what they are about, they then moved on to explained how new college students can be active in UNICEF at Baruch. The members explained they are 6 requirements to be active in UNCEF at Baruch. When you finish the 6 requirements, at the end you’ll get a certificate. Then you’ll officially be in UNICEF at Baruch. UNICEF at Baruch is a really great and supportive club. I would recommend this club to anyone who would love to help children in need and need a chance to reach their full potential. I am glad to have a club like this in my school. This club can help me be a better person and help me help others in need during my years in Baruch College. 🙂
