Chance participated in a re-creation of a United Nations Meeting this past week at a local university. High school kids from about 16 high schools in the area were bused in to re-create a United Nations Conference. Chance was the UNICEF (The United Nations Children's Fund), representative from the country of Tonga. Chance and his fellow high school students had a debate on the resolutions that should be passed for children involved in and affected by armed conflict in the world. The second debate was about children in poverty across the world. Chance really enjoyed the experience and wants to participate again next year.
I am delighted that Chance got to participate in this program. He is now a little more interested in taking debate classes as well.
All I can say is that if Chance is a representative from the nation of Tonga, I think I need to pay him a visit:)
Update: Chance's brother has a big hearing test tomorrow. By big, I mean it is his first one in 3 weeks, and each time we have gone in these past few months, his hearing has fallen a little more. Tomorrow we will do at least a few hours of testing and see how things are progressing. In the meantime, our boy has taken to Harry Potter and when he got a scrape across his forehead, he was delighted to see that it looked awfully similar to Harry's scare and is even in the right spot. This made dressing up for the masquerade ball that his children's choir performed in, even more delightful for him. You usually just can't plan scrapes like that.
After our marathon testing session, we will head over for an ice cream cone at the creamery up the street from the sound booth. I think we may even get double scoops. Sitting for several hours in a sound booth testing your hearing deserves a double scoop of ice cream.
