“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”

– Helen Keller

It is a pleasure to welcome you to a new edition of BIMUN XXIII. For me, Sharick Barrios, it is a privilege to be your UNICEF president, on a committee where we embark on an extraordinary journey towards creating a safer and more peaceful world. In UNICEF, we recognize the immense potential within each of you, the future leaders of our world. I understand that standing at the threshold of this journey may evoke a mixture of excitement and apprehension. But rest assured, once you step into that room and begin articulating your thoughts and ideas, any fear or doubt will dissipate. You are capable, and I have full confidence in your ability to excel.

Perhaps to some, this endeavor may initially appear routine, while to others, it may spark immediate enthusiasm. Yet, let me assure you, participating in BIMUN has been one of the most enriching experiences of my life. It has not only broadened my perspectives but also equipped me with invaluable skills. I sincerely hope it will have a similar impact on each of you.

As we commence this experience together, President Becerra and I expect nothing less than your best efforts. Remember, this responsibility entails upholding the values of respect, responsibility, and commitment at all times.

I am deeply grateful for the privilege of serving as your president. Together, let us embrace this opportunity and make the most of it. I am confident that this experience will be nothing short of amazing, and I hope you, too, will develop a profound affection for BIMUN, just as I have.
