Amnesty International Update:

By Monique Lavoie
It has been a busy month for Amnesty! These last two weeks we have focused on natural disasters all around the world. Amnesty included earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, and hurricanes. We covered places all around the world including India, China, and the United States. Amnesty focused on bringing awareness to the mass destruction these natural events cause and how many people's lives are changed by these events. Amnesty chose this topic for the next month to bring awareness about how important it is to spread the disaster relief and how relief funds can beneficial  towards natural disasters. All of the information can be found on this month's bulletin board in the Commons!

Amnesty's Guest Speaker:

Before Thanksgiving, Amnesty got the chance to listen to Mary Garnder, a former US ambassador, describe her experience in her field. Mary Gardner talked about how much she was able to travel and the job assignments she has worked on in her many years as an ambassador. She also covered the many important people she was able to meet as US ambassador. She also talked about the cultural differences she experienced around the world and the diversity she faced as a woman. Amnesty and Model UN topped the presentation with snacks and drinks after the presentation! ​
