The Power of the Tongue


Everyone enjoys a good debate every now and again. Two or more individuals engaged in a healthy discussion of pros and cons; each defending his or her position and trying their utmost to have their opponent concede.

Now what if you had the chance to debate on an international stage? To speak in front of a large audience, representing yourself, school and country. For the first time in its history, the World Universities Debating Championship, has allotted a spot for the Northern Caribbean University Debating Team. This of course, is a great accomplishment for the school, as well as the island country of Jamaica. For this, I am proud of my Alma Mater. The championship will take place in early 2014 in India. The team is working hard to attend, but lacks the finances. They are in need of JA$1.5 Mil (US$15,000) to attend this championship. If you can support in any way or know someone who can, please feel free to help these students. Click here to donate (look for WUDC link).

Every opportunity we give to another, allows them to give to someone else.
