SECRETARIAT - DISMUN 2025

Secretary General
Joel Manimala

 
Welcome to DISMUN ‘25! I’m Joel in 12B and I am the Secretary General for this year. I’m a huge car enthusiast, a guitarist and I love meeting new people all the time! I helped Diyafah kickstart the MUN to make it the extravagant event it is today, and I am very glad to see how it has grown. MUN is a great experience for all students, and I am proud to be an active part of the growing community of debaters, critical thinkers and future leaders. I’m very excited to see the outcomes of this year’s MUN and wish all our delegates the warmest welcome and best of luck!
