“Peace begins with a smile.”
That´s what Teresa of Calcutta said.
Why don´t we start a peaceful day? Smile to the person beside you.
We are here today to celebrate peace.
In 1949, after two very violent wars involving many countries and ending millions of lives, the human race realized they wanted peace, and they would have to work for it, so they founded the United Nations.
Beyond political issues, economic interests or religious reasons; we believe we must build peace.
We may find a million reasons to fight, to set us apart; both profound and shallow, that’s the easy part. Simple and evil men had found them for years; and have hurted humans for centuries.
The difficult way to go is to find; no!, to build peace. To figure out how Catholics and Muslims can praise God together. How vegans and meat eaters can feast together. How a chinese and a mexican person can comunícate despite the language barrier. How to be rich without steping on the poor.
How to understand, that we are all equally wothy, we are all unique and usefull, we must find a way to show gratitude and love to all others because they complete us and make us better.
Here, at Colegio Christa McAuliffe, we believe that, we work for that, we build that. We build and live a path of peace.
Welcome to our Model United Nations. We hope you enjoy yourselves, but more importantly, we want you to build peace with us.
