Third-year accounting student Salina Dharamsi participated in a UN panel on disaster risk reduction as a Canadian Youth Ambassador on February 9. The informal thematic debate was hosted in New York by the UN General Assembly in conjunction with World Vision, UNDP and Save the Children.
At the panel, Dharamsi joined representatives from these organizations to discuss how the UN and NGOs can improve preventative measures so that when disasters hit developing countries, the people will suffer less mortality, morbidity and infrastructure destruction.
