What is AIMUN? The AIMUN is a non-formal educational method implemented in Alexandria for the first time by SDA to prepare and motivate ....... mmm that’s the same definition from www.sda-web.org , actually it’s a copy paste from the article about AIMUN, and that is far from what I want to talk about...

It all started last year, I was bored, had huge fights with all of my friends, I had a lot of free time and I did not really know what shall I spare it in… My only salvation was to go more to the BA .I went there to read more and enhance my knowledge. One day I saw one of my college friends; I waved to him and started talking about many things. I wondered about the book he was holding, so I asked him; what is it about? He told me that this book has to do with the UN and that he is a part of the Academic Committee of the Model United Nations then he started to talk about AIMUN .After a long conversation which I barely understood, He told me to check the website of SDA the NGO that organizes the AIMUN and that I will find an application form for the people interested to participate.

Two days has passed after the conversation I had with Ahmed Belal and I remembered that I didn't check the web site. I was so curious to know more about this Model UN, so, I opened the website and found a whole topic talking about AIMUN and also the application form that I decided to fill right away. A couple of days passed and the SDA folks actually called me for an interview. I was shaking at first, but when I went to the interview I got more tensed!! Lol!! Nevertheless I have passed the interview with great success Thank God.

The Model started and I was excited yet scared that I was a little alone… However during the sessions I knew that fighting with my friends was not the end of the world; it was the beginning of a new one! I made lots of new friends, I even gained a new best friend and I am now a part of a lovely group of buddies called the AIMUNers. In fact the conference made the best three days in my entire life that I can never forget.

I can’t forget the joy, happiness, knowledge and all the things I have earned last year. The dream which is coming true now that I’m part of the fourth model .Its hard but I like it so much and within it I have earned more and more experience that has been added to my credit since then.

Last year I redefined my view of friends, good company and learning. This year I want to Re-define Green and … I m waiting to see what else I will seek to change along my new friends.

An AIMUNer forever
