Summary Slide Three main thing that I have learned throughout this research is a lot. I was apparently not open minded of all the care work that people provided others with. All the stuff I learned were new to my attention so me personally hear about the World Health Organization makes me want to join since I want to join the medical field and they get to trip to different countries to just help others that is just amazing! Lastly, I have learned all the hard work it takes to communicate with all the members of the United Nation.
