Meet the Village Staff!

This is the awesome team of people who are working to make sure that our camp runs smoothly and that everyone (delegates, leaders and JCs) has a great time this summer. Here are some short introductory messages from Hugo, Augustin and Jaime:

Hugo Morat, Camp Director

Hey everybody! I'm Hugo, your happy Camp Director this summer. I'm actually currently studying Sociology in my town of Tours. I did a village in Sweden when I was 11, and then an interchange in Hungary the next year. Last summer, I was the leader of the French delegation in the Village in Auvergne, France. It was the first time I worked with Gus (he was our Junior Staff), and it was absolutely awesome. So let's all go for a new adventure together, we are waiting for you…Cheers!

Augustin Lyonnet, Junior Staff

Hi everyone! I’m Augustin, but as very few people can pronounce my name properly, my name at camp will be the one all my friends use: GUS. I’m 19, and I am the JUNIOR STAFF! I’m currently studying Sales and Marketing, but I will have graduated by the time of our camp! Whoop whoop! I currently live in Lyon, but my plans for the near future are not in France: I’ll be living for 2½ months in Montreal, Canada, from April to June, and in September, I will move to Sevilla, Spain, for a year of studies! My hobbies are playing soccer (I hope we’ll have great games at camp, and of course, I also hope we’ll be able to watch the World Cup!), going out with friends, and CISV! I’ve been a member of CISV since I was 10: I’ve done a Village in Indonesia, 2 Interchanges in Italy and Brazil, a Step-Up in Sweden, I was JC in the Netherlands, I did a Seminar Camp in Austria and I was already a Junior Staff in France last year! I’m also really involved in the Junior Branch: I’m the Local Junior Representative of my chapter, and I’ve attended JB events in France and Europe! I love laughing, so you can count on me – we are going to LAUGH this summer! I can’t wait to be at camp, to have fun, and to make great activities about Diversity. See you in July for the time of your lives!

Jaime Leogardo, International Staff

Mabuhay! :) My name is Jaime - originally from the Philippines, but now studying here in France. I may be old, but I am actually the Staff who is newest to CISV – I also act like a kid most of the time, so I’m sure we will get along perfectly! Since I joined 2 years ago, I have definitely found my place in CISV, and have so far been a Leader in 2 international programs: the first with the Philippine delegation to a Village in Portugal, and the second with the French delegation to a Youth Meeting, also in Portugal (I LOVE Portugal!). I also like playing sports such as rugby and volleyball, and I am also a cheerleading coach/judge and member of our national team (4-time Southeast Asian Champions!). I also love to travel, meet new people, experience new things and learn different languages – a true citizen of the world, my favourite country is basically wherever I’m going to next. I’m very excited and ENERGIZED to meet and share the CISV love with all of you here in France! (PS: I collect fridge magnets from around the world, just saying… :) )

We can't wait to meet you all soon! :) 

(And we will try our very best to find 2 more girls to complete our Staff team!)
