DRMUN (Donetsk Regional Model United Nations)


I, as a rule of thumb, am not one to rush into something.  That maybe why it took me exactly one month to write a recap about one of the most fantastic projects I have had the privilege of working on here in Ukraine.  This hesitation is also why I was initially uncertain of the feasibility of such a large and ambitious project as which I am about to describe.  But as is often the case with my all beginning jitters, people have impressed me and results have amazed me.  In December, 2013 Donetsk experienced its premier Model United Nations.  It was a pleasure to see the action first hand and to play a small part in the creation of this spectacular, international event.
