Creating a BUZZZZ at the United Nations!
2013 Annual CTAUN Conference at the United Nations Friday, 18 January 2013
“ADVANCING SOCIAL JUSTICE: THE ROLE OF EDUCATORS”
As a member of Delta Kappa Gamma you should be very proud of the fact that your involvement in our project: "Hey Sister, can you Spare a Pair?" Not only created quite the BUZZZZ but actually won the award for “Best Practices of 2012” from the United Nations!
One of the BEST things about creating a BUZZZZ... is being along side all the other WORKER BEES in the HIVE! I was extremely proud to represent all the WORKER BEES in Alpha Alpha State as I accepted the "Best Practices Award" on your behalf from the United Nations representative in New York City at the CTAUN (Conference on Teaching About the United Nations).
This award is given each year to a person or organization that creates a project or works in conjunction with another organization to promote or provide global awareness into school curricula and the work of community organizations.
I am so grateful that Barb Emmer from Psi Chapter thought enough of me, thirteen years ago, to offer me membership into Delta Kappa Gamma. BEE-cause I was invited to BEE-come a member of the HIVE, I have BEE-come a much better person. Won't you look around your area of the garden and do what BEES always do? Help others to BLOSSOM!
We definitely are a group of "Leading Women Educators that are Impacting Education Worldwide"!
