Manoes Chaves

Ecofin Vice Chair

Hi, my name is Manoel Chaves, I'm in the eleventh grade and I've been studying at PASB since I was 4. I usually practice sports in my free time (specifically soccer and tennis) on a daily basis. I've also always been evolving my MUN career. In ninth grade I won the best delegation in the American Caucus, in tenth grade I was chair in Interpol and now I'm being once again! I hope to make an entertaining conference and with strong arguments we will find out what the best resolution will be! And feel free to text me by email (24chavesm@pasb.com.br) if you have any doubts or concerns!
