The United Nations Club of HELP University College is the first of its kind. We are a club engaged in charity work and the promotion as well as discussion of important issues such as health and the United Nations.

HELPMUNC 2009 will be the first ever conference the UN club is organising. The conference would bring together panoply of knowledge and experience, from inviting delegates and chairs with extensive MUN backgrounds, to welcoming newcomers who can hone new debating and diplomatic skills. It will be a great conference.

To all delegates, participants, volunteers, chairs, deputy chairs, water boys and girls etc.

Due to popular demand, HELPMUNC 2009 has been moved to the 25-27 of September 2009. Please contact the Secretary Generals or email helpmun@gmail.com for further information or enquiries.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

1. What does the Press Team do?

The Press Team is literally part of everything. Sitting in on every committee session, observing everyone during lobbying time, attending committee meetings, they know and hear everything. Everyone would be jealous of them. These demi-Gods are also rsponsible for putting together the daily newsletter, recollecting each and every word said in the conference (if it is interesting of course) and reporting on major events in the conference itself.
