"For most of us, this is our last day, and I truly realised it only
today
when I tried to enter and the ground pass would not make the
usual ‘beep’
sound ^^ I just want to take this opportunity to send a "spam-email" to all
of
you and say perhaps trivial and yet genuine words of gratitude. It
has been
a great and fulfilling time, at least for me, to meet all of
you (or almost
all) and I cannot express how much encouragement I got
while being around
such a nice group of people. Learning how to bake
bread, say ‘hello’ in many
different languages, learning about
different countries just through a small
chat, discovering about
personal beliefs of Jimmy Carter …these and other
things shaped my
view of the UN and people who come to work here (as interns
in the
first place), people with diverse interests, free of prejudices and

incredibly motivated..

I should stop here as it gets boring So good luck to all of you,
dear
interns, in all your endeavours! "

"Barack Obama, 47, was elected the 44th president of the United States, opening a new chapter in the country’s history as the first African-American to hold the world’s most important job.  Obama comes to the White House promising to pursue universal health-care coverage, alternative sources of energy and middle-class tax cuts. He faces daunting challenges: the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the lingering threat of international terrorism. "  Nothing is impossible. Obama made it.
