About the JASPARCThe Juniors Asia Pacic Regional Conference (JASPARC) is a unique meeting for thejuniors from the Asia Pacic Region of CISV. JASPARC aims to strengthen CISV in theAsia Pacic Region through Junior Branch (JB) development by encouraging support,international co-operation, awareness and participation of Juniors. The conferencebrings together the diverse cultural experiences of each member country and fostersa close constructive working relationship between juniors and seniors; which makesJASPARC and the APRW such an interesting experience!

The Philippines is a land ofsmiles and quirks. We have

beautiful hot beaches and coldtall mountains. We love eatingfood so much that while we’re

eating lunch, we’re alreadythinking about what to have for

dinner. We point with our mouthsand (sometimes) eat with ourhands. We are a mix of Malay,Spanish, American, and Asiancultures but remain uniquelyFilipino in our outlook in life:

always optimistic and full of lovefor our family and friends.
