After the close of our wonderful conference, we had to rush off to a couple more important appointments. First, thanks to the Araiza family, we were welcomed at the Embassy of Mexico. The purpose of our visit there was to tour the embassy and to learn about NAFTA (the North American Free Trade Agreement). Our favorite part of the tour was the art work, all uniquely Mexican. It was also extremely interesting to hear about NAFTA and about huge the trade is between the US and Mexico and how most of the trade happens through Texas.
Our second stop was the United nations Foundation building where we had an appointment with Girl Up. Girl Up is an innovative campaign of the United Nations Foundation. Girl Up gives American girls the opportunity to channel their energy and compassion to raise awareness and funds for United Nations programs that help some of the world’s hardest-to-reach adolescent girls. We at UA are very excited that Girl Up is coming to our school on Global Celebration Day!
