Identity: Organizer of the Amnesty International Fukuoka English Language Group
For such a young woman, Cecilia has an impressive resumé of working with NPOs, including an internship at a former leprosy colony in Hawaii and work at Amnesty International’s office in San Francisco. She graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, with a degree in Multicultural Community Studies. In Fukuoka, her mother’s hometown, she works with UN-HABITAT as a consultant on gender-specific issues. A year ago, she registered an English language Amnesty International group, which has held film screenings and discussions. On May 22, their first big event will take place at Volume, in Daimyo, with live music, action-awareness games, and yes, food and drinks.

出身：合衆国サンフランシスコ
日本滞在歴：２年間
職業：「アムネスティ・インタナショナル福岡」英語グループ主催者
ハワイの旧ハンセン病居留地でのNPO活動や、サンフランシスコのアムネスティ・インターナショナルのオフィス勤務など、あどけなさが残る笑顔のシシリアと、社会的活動豊富な彼女の経歴とのギャップにまず驚かされる。そんな彼女は、カリフォルニア大学バークレイ校で多文化共生学を学んで卒業した後、彼女の母親の故郷の福岡で、国連ハビタットでジェンダー政策プログラムにコンサルタントとして取り組んでいる。１年前にアムネスティ福岡の英語グループを結成した彼女は、来る5月22日に大名のVolumeでアムネスティ福岡英語グループの初ビッグイベントも開催予定。「すべての人が人権を享受できる世界を目指して」活動する世界組織アムネスティと、気負わずに社会活動を続けるシシリアに学ぶことが多そうだ。
