Day 1 at the UN in New York

December 8 2007

Hi guys this is Alex here giving the first, of many updates from New York!!!

Today was the first of the World Fit for Children + 5 events.

My highlights of today were, meeting the other delegates from all over the world and visiting Macys’s shopping mall and trying Japanese food for the first time and eating with chop sticks.

I’m really looking forward the main UN meeting and hopefully getting the opportunity to speak about the main issues of Children’s Rights.

All the best to everyone back home!!!!!!

Alex
