MTC-Vodafone (Bahrain) flies 2 Bahraini AMA female students to Scotland

"We are proud of sponsoring this group of Bahraini students. Through our continuous commitment to education, we support a range of projects that seek to raise academic standards and expectations, and the skills of children and teachers. We also aim at supporting talented young children by giving them opportunities not otherwise available to them, and supporting schools and educational initiatives that do the same" commented Mahmoud Hashish, Chief Commercial Officer at MTC-Vodafone (Bahrain). 'Such program provides students with an excellent opportunity to test the practicability of their ideas, as well as learn how the decision-making process on a global level actually works. Furthermore the concept of representing another country not only creates awareness for the interests of other governments, it also encourages them to develop an understanding for the needs and views of other cultures. In a world which is growing together so rapidly the success of cross-cultural encounters is becoming increasingly vital', he added.

'On behalf of the AMA Model United Nations Society, we would like to thank MTC-Vodafone (Bahrain) for sponsoring young talented Bahraini students to attend this rewarding international conference', commented Doris Martin, Student Affairs Director and Model United Nations Director, at AMA International University Bahrain.

Ms. Martin explained that Harvard World Model United Nation is the most authentic United Nations experience possible. There will be around 1000 delegates from over 50 different countries and universities such as Oxford University, Cambridge University etc...

Through lively debate, exciting social events, and a unique conference spirit, WorldMUN experience reaches across cultures and borders to inspire both cooperation and friendship. This group would be the first to represent their country - Kingdom of Bahrain, their culture and their diversity.
