What I did and what I learned about my topic, activism, social justice work or civil and human rights work from this fieldwork?:

The United Nations is a place located on E42nd street in midtown Manhattan. There are 193 states in UN. It is a place where huge decisons are made for the world. It has very strict secruity because it is a very important/sacred building. António Guterres is the current Secretary-General of the United Nations. He is the ninth Secretary-General, his term began 1 January, 2017. He is from Portugal, he is 74 years old. There are many discussion rooms where people can listen in each president can bring five other people.

Now you might be wondering what we did there! First we went through the vicious secruity, after there was thing big peaceful space with some sculptures, we stayed there for about an hour! After we went inside and met up with our amazing tour guide. We then went into some of the discussion rooms, they were really cool they had a lot of seats for viewers and discussers. There was also a lot of art work all around the building and cool artifacts! And after we went back to schools and all enjoyed our wonderful lunches.
