Meet our IJR Candidates

Hi! My name is Bianca Sihleanu and this year I am one of the five IJR candidates. I am 19 years old and soon

I’ll be starting a new university to try to pursue my dream job (working in Formula 1). I’m a friendly person, that will certainly make you laugh, with a huge smile on my face and the warmest hugs. I am really excited to meet you all and have fun at IJBC!!

Ask me about my future and I’ll tell you about my passions.

Love,

Bianca

Hey! This is Jose from Peru :) I currently live in Lima, but I’m moving soon to Boston for college! I love animals, everything related to the sea and volunteering. I joined the JB in 2019 and since then I’ve had multiple national and international roles such as NJR and IJBT member, and facilitated conferences like Andinos and AJBM. This is going to be my first IJBC in person and I’m so excited to meet all of you guys in person! If you see me, don’t hesitate to reach me and ask me about my pet family!

Hey B) it’s Georgia. I am one of your IJR Candidates and am from the East Coast of Canada. I just graduated from my business degree in Sustainability Management and International Management and am in the process of making a big move to the other coast of Canada. I’ve been in CISV since 2009 and JB since 2013. In my spare time I like to check things off lists, to acquire a new crafty skill and do an elaborate project then never use that skill again, and to eat bagels. Ask me about the stickers on my laptop! Check Out Georgia's video Q&A @ bit.ly/georgia4ijr

Hey besties <3 I’m Hana from Thailand, I’m currently 18 turning 19 this year. I just graduated from a French high school in Bangkok after coming back from an exchange year in 2019/2020 in France. I’m off to Osaka University in September to study Human Sciences (very CISV of me). My first CISV experience was in 2015 at Village in Portugal then I did an interchange in 2017 in Italy. I found out about JB through a Facebook post about JASPARC 2021 online and since then I’ve been very active with JB. I’ve facilitated events with JB Japan and even joined the IJB team as the JB representative for the GSRDI working group. Asides from my passion for CISV and JB, I love learning languages and I’m currently fluent in English, Japanese, Thai and French with Chinese and Spanish in the beginners level. I’m also a big traveler and I love getting lost in a country and meeting new people. My current obsession is watching Grey’s Anatomy and making fruity Tiktoks (I spent way too much time on them). IIJBC is my first on-site JB event and I’m so excited to meet all the faces I’ve met virtually and all the new faces! Check Out Hana's video Q&A @ bit.ly/hana4ijr

Hey everyone! This is Said from Lebanon! I’ve been a member of the IJB Team, CISV Standing Committees, the CISV Finance Committee, served as the Lebanese NJR, and am now an IJR candidate! I wish I could be in Austria with you all in person, but I’m currently moving across the Atlantic to Boston for my studies! IJBC 2022 will be my fourth IJBC, and I’m beyond excited to share all the big ideas I’d want to implement if I were elected as IJR with you all (www.tinyurl.com/SAIDO-IJR) - my main “agenda item” would be an IJB Fund that NJRs can tap into for financial resources! That said, I’m eager to meet you all and PLEASE do reach out to ask me any questions, weigh in on projects, or just say hello! Warm (and humid) regards, Said Check Out Said's video Q&A @ bit.ly/said4ijr
