harvard campus was great... we debated half a day on their campus and got a chance to take a private tour around the university by our guide: Roberto Melendez currently studying at MIT and ex- former ABC student.
although I said our day at harvard was great the night returning to the hotel wasn't pleasant as we were basically freezing therefore ATM "Mrs. Graham" and myself started running towards the train station to keep warm and also to get tickets for the metro... we are having a BLAST!!!

The "Actual" Debate
My committee the "Economic & Financial" is currently trying to solve the world food crisis. Issues such as Biofuels, Genetically altered crops, FTA (Free Trade Agreements) and many others have been said by different countries such as the members of the G8 which includes; France, Germany, Japan, China, UK, USA, Italy & Russia. they have taken control over the debate, as they are the countries which can provide monetary aid to underdeveloped countries such as Honduras which is the country that I am representing. As may position in the general assembly representing Honduras is not as simple because we do not want aid from an actual country so w have made a "Underdeveloped Countries Alliance" UCA which consist that we will only receive help from the NGO's such as Oxfam, Stop Hunger Now and Care, this will incentive people living on our countries to produce a more effective agricultural system by providing them money, and education on how to grow and manage their crops economically and with labour. we are currently supporting the South African government which has agreed on our proposal and has added clauses on their working papers to fit our needs. we are looking forward for a solution to be created soon, because the constant debate is becoming stressful.

It was great to tour round the Harvard campus yesterday and see everyone in the real lecture theatres. The students looked very comfortable in the university environment and I'm confident they will make fantastic graduates one day. Having Roberto Melendez to show us around was a great asset and one for which we are very grateful - thanks Roberto!
