Freshman Seminar Fall 17 DWC

Blog post #2- Student life

On the 7th September, I went to my first General interest meeting at UNICEF. UNICEF at Baruch is a club that has the purpose of helping students and children in need. They do so by organising events to raise funds as well as panel sessions that educate other fellow peers about the how many children are discriminated or ignored due to poverty. I thought that it would be very meaningful to help those children and play my part in the society and hence joined the club. At the first meeting, they introduced themselves, who the president was, what they do and how do they do that. I found it kind of interesting that they organise so many events yearly and that this money would be donated to the UNICEF organisation right after the event ends. It shows that our participation in contributing would go straight to the organisation that does the sending of relief packages etc to children around the world. At the first meeting, we also played some icebreaker games to talk and find new friends I guess. Next week on the 17 October, they would be having a bake sale and the money would go to the organisation and on the 24 Oct they will be having a Halloween bash. Having all these cute events I do hope they can raise enough money for the children in need. Here attached is just a photo taken at UNICEF GIM.
