Team Diversity

Josef, the editor, is the most realistic among the members. He is an absolute perfectionist, and he loathes even little imperfections. He is an avid fan of the Roman Catholics & supports People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. He has a passion for solving unresolved problems.

She loves reading fiction & self-help books. She dreams about living in a suburb community. She loves company of her friends. She is very loquacious but passive. She is very adventurous too.

The photographer of the group is Jesusa. She turns the dullest of things into something interesting and eye-catching through the lenses of her camera. She always takes no sides in arguments of the members and resolves the conflict through peaceful manners. She is the most lady-like in the group which is evident in her grace, tact, and kindness.

Aaron is the most resourceful, resilient and persevering member. If you give him a can, bottle, and an old toy car, he would turn it into an elecric fan! He is easily pleased, a natural gamer, very friendly and very gleeful. Although he travels 20 kilometers to and from school and home, he never had a single absent in his high school life and the meetings of the group.
