Secretary General's Message for THAIMUN XI
Sara LANDRY
INTERNATIONAL school of BANGKOK
Hi, my name is Sara Landry (They/She), your resident vegan. I am a 12th grader at the International School of Bangkok, and I am incredibly delighted and honored to serve you as THAIMUN’s Secretary-General for the second year in a row!
I have participated in Model United Nations since my freshman year of high school and I am currently ISB’s secretary-general. In the past two years I have attended nearly 20 conferences, acting as a chair in 11 conferences and parliamentarian/secretary-general in 4 conferences. During my first THAIMUN conference, I had the wonderful opportunity to delegate as a Reuters journalist for Press Corps and write scandalous articles about Jeremy Kim (last year's secretary-general) being unable to do mathematics. I have also been taking part in ISB’s middle school MUN group to encourage the next generation to be globally minded. If I am not participating in MUN, you can catch me debating, reading, or going to the gym. On a serious note, from fruitful debates to such a tight-knit community, I have been so fortunate to find such a fantastic outlet to learn about current issues affecting us today. As we step into a covid-free world, I encourage all of you; delegates, chairs, and SMC members alike to use the skills that you have gained from THAIMUN and transfer them into the real world to make the world a better place, because our voices have power and can make change. I also hope all of you are able to find the same nurturing and empowering community that I have found at this year’s conference. Lastly, I would like to thank Keene, Proud, Ritesh, the chairs, and the SMC team for their incredible work in helping coordinate this conference. I am so lucky to have an amazing team to work with this year. Remember…. MUN is FUN!! I cannot wait to meet you all in March. See you soon!!! Instagram: @Sara.lpl | Gmail: [email protected] |
Akira (Keene) Teotrakool
Triam Udom Suksa
Hi, all. My name is Akira Keene Teotrakool (they/them) and I am a senior (old person) from Triam Udom Suksa. I am the MUN community’s operatic singer, philosopher and Thai language specialist! It is my honor to serve as your first Secretary-General from a Thai Public School.
In my 3 years in this community, I have attended 15 conferences: four as a delegate, ten as a chair and one as a half-delegate, half-interim-chair. If you have seen me at conferences, it is very likely that I am ranting through the hallways, going meta to explain what the topic is, and effectively singing at half-time breaks. Just so you don’t call me out for not mentioning ICJ, my first ICJ started at THAIMUN when I first attended THAIMUN IX as an advocate. I should admit that I did suck at ICJ (the chairs back then would definitely say that). Then I served as a chair for THAIMUN X (Sara would kinda praise me for that) and now a THAIMUN XI, I am here as an organizer (Yes, ICJ is a trauma committee). Outside of MUN, I organize a lot of other events, write academic papers and poetry, fix the electrical systems at one of the buildings at my school, coach kids, act as a reliable peer counselor and take on lecturer jobs on topics that I don’t believe I am qualified to teach. Yes, Akira Keene does many things. I do many things Model UN has given me an opportunity to show my work ethic, my passion for creating discussions and my love for people in general. I kid you not, the people in MUN are one of the nicest, diverse and committed groups of people I have ever worked with. The Model UN circuit has been a family of student-led and passion-driven individuals who take their time to discuss politics in the most absurd way. This is why it has been worthwhile to serve as your Secretary-General for THAIMUN XI. Lastly, I would like to thank the SMT and Co. —other old people, friends and juniors who are family. Everyone has given us the greatest support we would ever need for this conference. Alongside Sara, Proud, and Ritesh, I have dedicated my time to ensure that this conference retains a national standard, experiments on the newer things in MUN, helps you make friends and have FUN!
