FHN Model UN team competed in World Competition in Beijing, China in July.? FHN students Dan Lance,? Collin Mathias (won his fourth, best delegate award) and Nick McKay (took second place in his committee) participated along with FHN advisor, Kirk Vredevelt.? They also had a chance to see and learn about China and Chinese culture.
Mr. Kirk Vredevelt and 3 FHN Model UN students (Collin Mathias, Nick McKay, Dan Lance) left on Friday July 20 and arrived in Beijing, China, Sunday morning, July 22, to the largest rainstorm there in 61 years.? Mr. Vredevelt said, ?The Chinese are friendly and optimistic. The young people seem to be exploding with energy. ?
They first toured Tianamen Square, the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace. The Next day they went to the Great Wall; and on the third day, visited the National Museum of China and shopping via the subway.? Mr. Vredevelt said, ?My students said being in Beijing today(20 million people) is like watching New York City being built. Yes there is poverty and they have a long way to go, but they are on their way.?
Many thanks to the parents and our Forest Hills community for making big dreams come true.
