One Brookwood Forest Junior United Nations team represented Somalia and another represented Thailand at the annual assembly at Birmingham-Southern College.
A group of sixth-graders at BWF represented the school at the Junior United Nations Assembly held at Birmingham-Southern College.
There were two different teams: one representing Somalia and another representing Thailand.
The students spent a semester researching a problem that faces each country, proposing a solution, and developing a resolution to address the problem that was presented before the Junior United Nations on Jan. 28-29.
In presenting the bill, the students dressed in traditional attire and spoke in the native tongue of each country.
It serves as a way the students cannot only learn more about the larger world, but to see the impact they can make in solving real-world problems.
