We are proud to be a promoter of
the Unicef “Trick-or-Treat”
campaign. For over 50 years, the
US Fund for Unicef has sponsored
this nation-wide program.
Since 1950, children in the United
States have shown their commitment to improving the
lives of their peers around the world by filling our
famous orange box with change for UNICEF on
Halloween. Of the $4 million raised in one recent year,
nearly 70 percent was raised by young people
volunteering through their schools, community groups,
faith-based and other service organizations.

Model United Nations of the Southwest (MUNSW)
is a student organization committed to increasing
public awareness of the role the United Nations
plays in today’s international community. During our
annual conference, we educate junior high and high
school students using
simulated international
crises and the debate
of resolutions to
demonstrate the
United Nations’ role in
addressing global
issues. The conference lasts for four days and is
attended by approximately 400 to 500 delegates
each year. Conference attendees are split into their
pre-selected country delegations and represent the
foreign policy positions of their respective countries
for the duration of the UN simulation.

The human rights of children… are most concisely articulated in
one international human rights treaty: the Convention on the Rights
of the Child. The Convention is the most universally accepted
human rights instrument in history – it has been ratified by every
country in the world except two – and therefore uniquely places
children center-stage in the quest for the universal application of
human rights.
