It was equally remarkable how great efforts were taken to make the presentation appealing and understandable to a younger audience through animated drawings and involving the children by asking them questions about familiar situations. For us, teachers, we feel a sense of pride when our students take center stage, and wow us when they take the lead role and take ownership of an entire assembly. The UN is indeed all about giving voice, choice and ownership to its member nations.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"http:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2018\/10\/7659153696_img_0495.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-161118 size-full lazyload\" height=\"666\" width=\"1000\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2018\/10\/7659153696_img_0495.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2018\/10\/7659153696_img_0495-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2018\/10\/7659153696_img_0495-768x511.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px;
