Taipei: Social Venture

An interesting aspect of World MUN is the Social Venture Project which solicits for World MUN participants to identify a social issue and compete for funding and support to implement their proposed solution to that problem.

This year, the Coast Guard Academy's Dan Cahill has worked to implement a series of micro drip irrigation in Africa. By providing kits to individual families, Dan hopes to provide subsistence farmers with a more reliable supply of food. Today, working with a student from the University of Virginia, Dan presented his solution to the Resolution Project Board of Directors, and will find out tomorrow if his project is selected to receive funding.
