United Nations – Nippon Foundation Fellowship Alumni

By Bob Capistrano (2009-2010)

This is not an authoritative guide to the insurance coverage and claims procedures, it is simply information gathered through experience. It does not replace your obligation to familiarize yourself with the insurance coverage and claims procedures directly with Vanbreda International. Also note that the United Nations is not competent in issues related to your medical insurance beyond confirming your status as a UN Fellow to Vanbreda.

The alumni now has a new representative. Sampan Panjarat, an alumni from Thailand was elected as a new representative replacing Andi Arsana who served as the first representative of the Alumni. In her letter to the alumni, Sampan acknoledged Andi’s contribution to the organisation and was thankful that that. Sampan also appreciated “Francois and all alumni friends” who support her nimination as a representative.

However, Sampan also mention that having a representative and focal points for different regions is not the end of the story. We need to step forward, Sampan noted. She urged alumni, especially the region’s focal point to present their ideas to develop the work ahead.

With the support of all alumni, which seem to be more organised now, Sampan will lead the organisastion and hopefully can make some good ideas real. Good luck, Sampan. We are all with you.

Don’t forget the deadlines for nominations and voting…
