Dear Faculty advisors, sponsors, delegates, ladies and gentlemen,

“Some people look at the world and say why? Others look at the world and say why not?”

• George Bernard Shaw

It is a pleasure for me, along with my co-president, to have assumed the responsibility as president of UNICEF B. Our motivation stems from the desire to foster a just and equitable society, even amidst the challenges of violence, poverty, and discrimination that surround us. Today, we are confronted with these social realities, recognizing them as legacies of the past that persist into the present and it is up to us to make it our future, only if we allow exclusion and indifference to obstruct our path toward peace and social development.

While it is challenging to confront the obstacles of a world marked by conflict, our commitment to contribute to overcoming the barriers of inequality and exclusion must be greater. We trust and are confident that you will give your utmost effort, showcasing your cognitive and productive abilities. Let us embrace the challenge of eradicating hunger, poverty, and war, ensuring that this aspiration becomes not merely a utopian ideal but a tangible goal that sparks positive transformations in all our lives.

At UNICEF B we will seek out opportunities to deepen our understanding of societal realities, including the origins of differences and the persistence of inequality. Our goal is that this model allows us to show the role we represent in society, of not conforming about why it happens and situations exist, but about taking advantage of the capacity that each of us has to improve the world. As presidents, we are committed to providing the support and assistance needed to create an unforgettable and impactful experience for everyone involved. I am sure that each of you will make the most of this opportunity for us to promote tolerance, embrace diversity, and foster respect for others. Only through these efforts can we build a society based on rights.

I hope to count on each of you for this purpose because your words and actions truly make a difference.

“Anyone who thinks they’re too small to make a difference has never tried falling asleep with a mosquito in the room.”

 Dalai Lama

Dear sponsors, delegates, ladies and gentlemen,

“To truly cultivate peace in this world, and to wage a genuine war against conflict, we must start with the younger generation.”

— Nelson Mandela
