UN ASSN OF THE NATIONAL CAPITAL AREA wrote -
Think Globally. Act Locally.
Endorsed by two Secretaries of State, Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Rodham Clinton, Global Classrooms DC (GCDC) supports global education for more than 1,400 students at local middle and high schools and organizes an annual Model UN Conference. School budgets are shrinking and we need your help to keep this program free for DC public school students.
How YOU Can Help
We're working to raise $15,000 in five weeks, which will fund Global Classrooms DC's ENTIRE 2011 Model UN Conference for 600+ DC public school students who would not have access to extensive global education otherwise.
$10 - Healthy lunch for one student to keep them energized for debate
$25 - Printing pre-conference kit for one school group
$50 - All conference & program costs for one DC Public School student
$100 - Printing conference materials (country placards, resolutions, etc.)
$200 - Healthy lunch for one entire school group
$300 - One school bus = transportation for 40 students

"Because of the Spring Model UN Conference, I feel like I can do something to make a change in the world"
-GCDC Student '08-'09
"I like debating in a country role because you don't have to think about it as yourself. You have to be professional. You are something bigger than yourself -- you are representing a whole country."
