Last Meeting - Monday 21st of October - MUNA - Nick.
University student Nick Rugg, who the club sponsored to attend MUNA(Model United Nations Assembly) in his last year at Lindfield school, spoke to us about his experience, and the impact it had on him.
Nick first hurdle was that fact his team of 3 representing China, was reduced to himself after two late withdrawals. But he managed that challenge and gave us the following feedback.
He reignited his public debating skills which he has taken onto Uni, as well as his legal studies often refer to the United Nations. The experience was 'enriching' and gave him confidence to 'try & fail'. Nick has a BIG thank You to Rotary.
The club was extremely impressed with Nick's feedback and his overall maturity and clarity of thoughts. We are happy to sponsor Nick for RYLA. His supporting parents & grandparents should be proud.
