About

As an organization of young active citizens and agents for change, the Junior Chamber International – Kagayhaan Gold joins the United Nations in fulfilling the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) which aims to address the pressing issues and concerns related to poverty, gender, environment, health, and education in our communities.

The UNMDG is already approaching its completion as these concerns are supposed to be addressed by 2015. However, we believe that it is not too late in contributing to the fulfillment of this advocacy. Therefore, we are still implementing activities UNMDG-related. Also, there is a Post UN Agenda that aims to seek for more specific concerns to be advocated after 2015.

We already did a lot of activities in the previous years for UNMDG. For this year, we decided to involve students and teachers through a Poster Making Competition and Exhibit with the theme “UNMDG in the 21^st Century: We Unite for a Better World”. The competition will be on August 9, 2014, along with a My World Forum for teachers and high school participants, and the exhibit shall run from August 11 – 22, 2014.
