Hi, community. Happy New Year to everybody 
I hope this year comes with full successes and benefits along the NEAR Community and the guilds.
Without further ado, we want to express our deepest and sincerest thanks to NEAR Foundation by supporting NEAR MUN, this kind of project that we are working on since 9 years ago, is one the of the greatest gateways in order to discuss and know about NEAR, his protocol, and his community academically speaking. That is why we consider delivering the first edition in Venezuela (that is one of the largest countries that their students - from college, university, and high school - are involved in this type of extracurricular activities), then, developing a strategy of sustainability, in the long term, we can consider performing MUNs along with the world with the flag of NEAR as main sponsor or entity of support.
Also, we want to express the constant interest and exceptional help and support of @jlwaugh who with @David_NEAR drawing the necessary path to financially assist this project.
Likewise, the assistance of all our guild (near-venezuela) and specially @FritzWorm who also worked on this proposal, is quite thankful too.
That’s being said, we started this project with the following structure and organization chart:
