In Aid of UNICEF Society: Treasurer

Hi everyone! I'm Aodhán, a second-year Arts and Sciences student. I would love to take on the role of Treasurer for In Aid of UNICEF Society because I'd love to play a part in charity drives and work at Uni and I think it's a worthwhile thing to devote time to. If I'm elected I can promise complete dedication to help make the society's work as effective as possible. Thanks! :)

It will always be admirable to continue and push through regardless of rejection. During COVID, when UNICEF ejected our society, our committee didn't give up. They took it upon themselves to ensure that, regardless of official support, our contributions would continue. I respect and want to help with that.

For years, my experience in Model UN taught me of the issues plaguing millions of innocent children around our world. NGOs like UNICEF and Amnesty International gave me an outlet for this activism. And, my day to day life in South East Asia showed me  how truly abhorrent some of the current conditions are for so many innocent youths.

In my past two years, I served as an instructor in my country's armed forces during my time in National Service. During this time, I worked extensively with my finance department for both private and public financial procurements. Having a deep understanding of logistics and bureaucracy behind managing the finances of my unit.

Beyong that our society is expanding, there's been a massive increase in members this year. We hold the unique ability to do so much more. I want to expand our events past just fundraisers but instead to learn more about the issues that we're trying to tackle. Whether that be through workshops or guided tours.

I hope to put these skills and goals to use as the treasurer of this society. I will ensure all our forms are filled in, and personally protest in front of the SU building if they reject our proposals.

I am eager to run for the position of Treasurer in the In Aid of UNICEF Society at UCL because of my deep commitment to supporting UNICEF's mission in advocating for children's rights and well-being worldwide. The role of Treasurer aligns perfectly with my meticulous and organized nature, as it involves controlling the society's expenditures, keeping detailed records of income and outgoings, and handling all financial transactions.

Joining the In Aid of UNICEF Society provides a unique opportunity to actively contribute to meaningful initiatives that make a difference in the lives of children globally. As Treasurer, I am dedicated to ensuring that our financial resources are efficiently managed to maximize our impact. This role not only allows me to apply my financial skills but also positions me at the forefront of supporting a cause that I am deeply passionate about.

Being part of this dynamic community goes beyond just managing finances. It provides a platform to raise awareness about crucial children's issues, engage in hands-on initiatives, and develop leadership and advocacy skills. The In Aid of UNICEF Society is a place where I can channel my passion for social impact into tangible results, making a positive difference in the lives of children.

Overall, I am excited about the prospect of serving as Treasurer for the In Aid of UNICEF Society, leveraging my financial skills to support a noble cause and actively contribute to the betterment of children's lives worldwide.
