Hisham Fazail
co-chair hsfazail@gmail.comDebate and politics have always played a key role in Hisham's life and interests. Having his father as his mentor and teacher helped him learn that debate and argument are about understanding, learning and building bridges, which is what MUN is all about. The rush of adrenaline that he feels while amid a heated argument is unparalleled by anything else, and the joy it brings him to see the house united in a peaceful decision cannot be put into words. What he admires most about MUN is the fact that the next generation is really learning how to take matters into their own hands and solving the issues that matter to them most. Having attended over 10 MUN conferences and chaired 2, It is his pleasure to attend and chair in AUDMUN. He looks forward to meeting all the young and motivated delegates, ready to take on a new challenge.
