BWF 6th-graders compete at JUNA

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.
