Student Brings Home Purdue PREFACE Honors

THIMUN, The Hague International Model United Nations, is the largest international MUN conference held each year in 3 locations, The Hague, Singapore and Doha. The Village High School MUN team has worked extremely hard these past few years to be recognized as one of the top 25 MUN High School teams in the nation. Our team decided to push themselves even further this year by attending the THIMUN conference in Doha Qatar, January 23th - 25th. There were over 1600 students from around the world that participated and the students were so excited to have this opportunity.

Zoe Lalji is being honored for her work in launching and leading the Lalji ALS Foundation and ALS Heroes. She was recognized January 12 at The Mad Hatter’s Luncheon, a Houston fundraising event hosted by Le Jardin de Nicole, and spoke about her business experiences so far.
