CHAIRS
Mia
Hi, delegates! My name is Mia Cespedes, I am currently a senior at the International School of Panama, and I am honored to be one of the chairs for the Human Rights Council this year. I was born in Panama City and have lived here my whole life. I participated in my first MUN conference in 9th grade in my previous school. Debate has helped me to express my voice and become a more confident person. I have participated in the last two PANAMUNs, one as a delegate and last year as an admin. This will be my first year as a chair and I am very happy to share this experience with you. Besides debate, I love singing, dancing, acting, and having fun with my friends. This will be my 6th MUN conference and I am very excited to meet all of you and be a chair for my favorite committee. I will do my best effort to ensure an engaging debate and create a great environment for a collaborative and fruitful discussion. I am looking forward to meeting all of you and having fun debating together!
Isabel
Hello delegates! My name is Isabel Arias and I am a sophomore at the International School of Panama. Originally, I was born in Mexico City, Mexico. After living there for nine years, I moved to Monterrey, Mexico. Then, four years later, I moved to Panama, where I have been living for the past three years. I first started learning about Model United Nations in Middle School, but my first real experience was in 9th grade. At first, I was very nervous, but I ended up thoroughly enjoying the experience. But, most importantly, it got me interested in becoming a chair. I am now very proud to be one of the Middle School Human Rights Council chairs in PANAMUN XXIX. I am very excited to be a chair so that I can facilitate the exchange of ideas and have fun within my committee. In total, I have done 6 MUN conferences, but I hope to make this one the best one yet. I am very excited to help you guys foster ideas and create solutions!
