World Affairs Conferenceand Climate Awareness

Congratulations to Mwebaza Infant and Sunset Middle School participants in the World Affairs Challenge sponsored by World Denver. For the past two months our cross-cultural team has been learning about 3 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals: Life on Land, Life Under Water, and Climate Action. Last night, students came together for a final team building event to solve a multi-country climate change freshwater availability issue. Hundreds of students from across the globe met in Zoom breakout rooms to create solutions for the scenario. The imagination, innovation, patience, perseverance, and respect for one another and our shared planet spoke volumes for the integrity of our youth.

In addition to inspiration from our amazing students, we had the honor of having lunch with climate activist and author, Vanessa Nakate. If you are not aware of her work, please take a look at her in action. https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/vanessa-nakate-climate-change-is-about-people
