The goal is to ensure that refugees have access to education & to ensure the public does not view them as a burden on society. The discussion panel has spoken about the refugee’s crisis and their children. The goal is to assimilate the refugee’s into our society. In order to do that we must give them the basic need of human right to food & shelter and education. The priority is to give them basic need of education to understand there condition. Many of these refugee are low skilled workers. The Leaders at the United Nation plan to have them assimilate into our society or to try to have them assimilate into our western culture. Without any basic Education for the refugee & their children – they will be stuck in their ways of living which may not be appropriate for the country they are living in now. This includes the United States & other developed nation. Without any form of education some refugee may fall prey to extremism which Europe & America wants to avoid. So, giving them the basic human need to ensure these refugees understand the society & the culture they’re now in.

I was invited to the United Nations special event on February, 22, 2019
Elliott Engel speaks today about the goals of the United Nation & American interest! The goals of the UN is to support Refugees & people fleeing from war.
1° The United Nation & it’s peace keeping goals in Syria has help over a million people who has been displaced in Syria & are not able to leave there war torn Country, Syria!
2° The ongoing problem in Rich countries not accepting Refugees, due to right wing extremism going into the political field & gaining grounds in the media & popularity has made a profound impact on global affairs.
3° Elliott Engel also mentioned countries has the right to protect there boarder due to tourist activities around the world.
Elliott Engel stated; but, there is a difference between a tourist & someone running away from war & extreme violence. 3° Poorer country are likely to support Refugees despite there hardship. Stated Elliott Engel. However, according to Elliott Engel, he’s proud to see young people & college students interested in global affairs & hope we stay interested in the goals of the United Nation.

• Healthier School Lunch for Children • Easier Access to Community Medical Healthcare • Community restaurants and stores that promote healthy diet and foods within the community • Community and Police Relationships within communities in Brooklyn • Programs that assist with Affordable and Safer housing • Quality Education • Solar Energy • Home and Business Improvement • Invigorating Parks • Summer Youth Programs and After School Programs • Senior Citizen Programs
My biggest achievement in life was working with Assembly Woman Latrice M. Walker. The project she assigned me on was Vital Brooklyn.  I research several states to see what kind of program they have, and then I would know how the people of their Community benefit from these programs. I also check the impact of those who were affected by these positive programs and tested to see the success rates of these programs. I also research to see what they had accomplished and the recognition they have on the people they help. I study the plans they have for poor communities and see their progress and development, & their success rates, and achievements. With these info’s, I have an idea of what this new project should be implemented in the project – Vital Brooklyn. Â
I research those States programs & their goals to see how their Community benefited from these programs. I checked their success and wrote down my ideas & brainstorm with other co-workers to see what should be suggested for our community. By the end of the day, there would be at least over 20 pages of ideas – that would make our community better by researching several States in the Union to see what made their ideas benefit their communities around their cities. By comparing their success rate to each other and looking at the history of the community, gives an idea of what should be implemented. All of that determines what purpose would benefit the Brooklyn area in New York. The projects that I had completed with other employees. This Project was a success! Â Â
I received a notification by Email from the Assemblywoman stating; a member of the Governor Cabinet approved one of the ideas I had for vital Brooklyn. The Cabinet members of Governor Cuomo administration of New York approved some of the ideas & others. Many things were implemented into Vital Brooklyn Project. Governor Andrew Cuomo signs off and supports these new changes!
Knowing one of my ideas was implemented in the new legislator brought joy to my heart & soul. It brings joy to me knowing one of my most magnificent Ideas would help millions, living in Poverty in the New York Area. The ideas in which I had was the Schooling Programs. Since books cause so much money for the students, one of the ideas in which I had was to completely Power phrase some textbooks, to avoid copyright issues. Plus to add in additional photos and texts. One must go out and find the proper material to add to the edited/Power phrase Textbooks. It’s very cheap to have teachers work on these materials. Plus it would benefit the school & students and would be a lot more affordable! Â
That was one of the must recognize ideas I had. Stated the Assemblywoman. That one idea stood out a lot said the Assemblywoman.
I, Steadman Blake can say that I am proud of this accomplishment! ​
I have interned
at the United Nation Associations of the United States of America Southern New
York State Division (UNA-SNY) and Public-Private Alliance Foundation
(PPAF). I had served as the Youth
Associate to the United Nations through the Department of Economic and Social
Affairs.
These are the projects that I worked on:
Child
Migrant crisis at the US/Mexico Border
US Violation on family separation at US/Mexico
Border
Model UN Programs Colleges & University
New York City educational institution is offering
Rebuilding
New Schools in Haiti
New
Technology – Solar-Cooker & Biodigester (Haiti)
Child Migrant crisis at the US/Mexico Border:
I researched the number of children that have been moved across the New York state area. I had called the facilities that housed the migrant children on their wellbeing. I wrote a report base on the information collected and hand it over to my Supervisor, who looked over it and submit it to the department at the United Nations who handles Human Rights cases. At that time, there were 557 migrant children in the New York State facilities. I had also checked the status of children moved to the New York area as a result of the harsh policies of family separation at the U.S. southern border of the United States.
I had called the facilities that are housing the migrant children. However, at the end of the week, I was able to gather information, and I was able to make the 10-page report of my finding of each facility I called. Although that I may not be a journalist, I am proudly to say I did whatever I can for the right cause for the suffering of children and women in a few young men who are stuck at the US Mexico border.
I made it clear and explain myself in detail as I called these facilities of my status as I’m being associated with the United Nations Associations of the United States of America.
Some were able to give out the proper information, and some were not allowed to do so.
I gathered the information that was required.
I typed down the information that was given to me.
I reported my information to my management Team.
And from there, the management team would handle the information that was given.
Although I was not the only person doing research on this crisis, I was one out of many young college students getting involved in the crisis at the US Mexico border.
My findings, along with other colleagues, was carefully put together by our supervisor & management team and were reported to the appropriate department of the Human Rights Commission at the United Nations.
Our finding was, the United States is in violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
And Possible violation of the Geneva Convention
US Violation on family separation at US/Mexico Border:
I researched for the UNA on the possible violation the United States is committing under the Trump presidency. What I found under international law, the United States has violated the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) & possibly the Geneva Convention. These agreements were agreed to by over 124 nations over sixty years ago after the aftermath of World War 2. The United States played a huge role in these agreements. It is just a huge shock on how backward this country is becoming. These were my findings as I looked at the rules and the Laws around the Universal Declaration of Human Rights & Geneva Convention that all Countries must commit too.
Model UN Programs Colleges & University New York City educational institution is offering:
Due to United Nations activities, the UN wants young College students to get involved globally. So, my job in January (2019) was to find out the colleges & universities around the New York State area to see if they have a Model UN Program. I would make a list & start typing it down as I gave the University/College a call about their programs.
The goals were:
Let the University/College know of the upcoming events at the United Nations (NY).
Invite University/College students to any activities the UN has available.
Plus, to have University/College students have a voice.
Getting Young & Bright Student to involve in Global affairs.
Rebuilding New Schools in Haiti:
For public-private alliance foundation; After the earthquake that devastated Haiti a couple of years ago. Public-private alliance had got involved in helping the people that were tragically affected by the earthquake. Public-private alliance foundation’s goals are to create a safer environment for the people of Haiti.
We were able to open around seven new schools in port au prince for girls of any age.
PPAF introduces Solar-Cooking to the Haitian population in Port Au Prince.
PPAF was able to open one additional University for the student who wants to advance their education in Biodigester.
New Technology – Solar-Cooker & Bio-digester (Haiti):
The main goal is to have Haitian people adapt to solar energy. PPAF was able to help & bring in over 271 Solar-Cookers to households & schools around the Port Au Prince area. However; Public-private alliance foundation’s goal is to transform the Haitian people into a better and unique society that is moving towards the future of energy.
Reason:
It’s a lot safer & better for the environment.
The quality of life improves with it without hazardous chemicals.
Those hazardous chemicals: Oil, cooking oil, and many forms of gas & coal to cook are not healthy.
PPAF was proudly able to bring forward over 271 Solar-Cooker.
My co-workers and I were at the United Nations Exhibit in July 2018 for a week & a half presenting what Public-Private Alliance Foundation stands for and the goals of the companies. My co-worker and I were promoting the rebuilding of the Haitian nation, promoting new solar technology, access to education for women and young girls and boys, and helping the environment by replacing charcoals and using alternatives for cooking & energy such as using solar energy.
Solar Cookers & Bio-digester at the exhibit at the United Nation, New York. For Example:
Taking energy from the Sun and using it as a tool for cooking Foods, It’s safer and Cleaner.
It’s a cleaner way not to breath in harmful chemicals
It’s very affordable & cheap
It takes its energy from the Sun (Solar Panels) & heats the pan up, & then cooks proteins(meat)
We received
over 537 signatures from those who wanted to endorse & promote the cause of
the Public-Private Alliance Foundation (PPAF) and helping the people of Haiti.
On the last day, July-18-2018 was the last day
promoting Public-Private Alliance Foundation at the UN! I came across a lot of
influencing people, especially the Ambassador of Haiti and the Ambassador of
Jamaica, and others like the Ambassador from South Korea Cho Yoon-Je!
I have learned
a lot of skills in promoting a business to others. I’m very proud of how far
I’ve come. I’m even more proud of the facts that I was in a News Article of the
“Team and me” at the United Nations in New York. I found out when the
Executive director David Stillman showed me the Article. I was surprised., I’m
very happy about what I was apple to do.
I have done a lot in the past 10 months & continuing, as I continue
to proudly work at the United Nations Association in New York City. I had
gained a lot of knowledge as I had begun my internship in May of 2018. I plan
to continue my work as I work with UNA-USA to help those who seek help.
