In May 2009, 4 students and 1 staff member from our Gwynedd- Mercy College campus visited the United Nations as a part of the Mercy meets U.N. Conference. While there, one of the biggest focuses was on member nations' progress toward the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). I was one of those students who was privileged enough to go and U.N. Inspired enough to START something back home. My goal is to get everyone involved in our campus wide campaign of GET U.N. INSPIRED! 8 Simple Ways to Save the World. With a lot of support from my fellow students, faculty, and staff, I will be posting different blogs that relate U.N. initiatives with our own, Montgomery County lives. There will be at least one post a week, explaining that week's "project" and corresponding Millennium Development Goal(s). I am hoping to see different comments and suggestions, which will continue to shape this year's campaign.

My personal commitment that I will also be posting on this blog, will be to continue each week's project through the remainder of the year.
