SECRETARIAT
Georges Avgoustiadis
Deputy Secretary General
Get to know Georges
When Georges and I woke up from our nap on Zoom at 2:00 AM, he said “ 3adi ya fofa hayekhlas f sanga “ reminding me that our icj closing statements are in four hours. I’ve always thought that Georges was in some manner destined to be a member of the Secretariat. You’ll never meet somebody more well-rounded, calm and optimistic than him. He is the most fun to work with since he is always prepared with the funniest stories and an olive-filled loaf of bread. The heart and soul of this team is our Lebanese king. The sweetest and Kindest friend, always willing to help, always there for anybody, and is unquestionably the best leader this team could have wished for. Georges is the most devoted worker there is, aside from his lovable character. Always gives everything he does his all, and he never gives up until he achieves the best outcome. He’s the kind of person whose infectious smile instantly wins you over. Please keep in mind that I will always love your mom more than you , Yorgo.
Sarah Cornec
Secretary General
Get to know Sarah
People always try to find the friend who brings out the best in them and can feel themselves around them, well this person is Sarah. Sarah is a person who would never run at the first sign of complexity, and who is tolerant, kind, welcoming, and caring. The perfect mix between a heart of gold and fierce, she is truly a driving force in all areas and has numerous qualities that 200 words won’t be sufficient to talk about. Her ability to sleep anywhere and everywhere will never fail to mesmerize you. She could go on and on about the dumbest things and be totally invested, so take care whilst debating with her. As strange as it sounds, she comes to school every day whilst listening to Fayrouz and Warda. If you fall, she is the kind of person who would first laugh and then come to help you (known from personal experience). All jokes aside, when Sarah has a goal in mind, she surpasses herself and goes above and beyond to achieve it with the most optimal results and she possesses traits that make her a great leader. Sarah is everything that would cross your mind. I am truly grateful that i will be sharing my last experience with her.
Farida Youssef
Deputy Secretary General
Get to know Farida
Light, caring, passionate and stubborn, four adjectives perfectly fitting the description of one of the closest people to my heart. Farida, the most down to earth person you’ll ever meet and the one that lights up every room she sets foot in. I can assure you that having a Farida in your life is certainly exceptional. To the one I share my Lebanese food obsession with, to the one that uses the gym as a personality trait, to my study buddy and the most special: Farida. When you’re sad and upset, you’ll have Farida to comfort you. When you’re happy and content, you’ll have her cheer for you and when you’re anxious and stressed, you’ll have her support you. Farida is the type of person that enters your heart without knocking yet doesn’t make you regret it, considering all the silly jokes she cracks (not always funny) and the warm ambiance she emits. Surprisingly, she’s mistaken for a strictly serious person when in fact she has the bubbliest personality. A personality so bubbly that she refuses to eat a donut unless it’s shared with me ;). Farida is a very dedicated and driven person that you can rant with for hours. This is particularly because of how understanding and listening she is, which mark one of her most prominent traits. Her ability to wholeheartedly listen to you never ceases to amaze me.
It’s, however, safe to say that I don’t think a simple “get to know” letter will do Farida justice because you will never really understand how distinctive and unique she is unless you really do get to know her 🙂

Nada Ahmed
Executive Advisor
Get to know Nada
Nada or as we all like to call her Noudy is a person of a kind. Even if our first conversation ever started by her saying “Hi ana esmi Nada”, we now share an irreplaceable bond.
Nada is the most dedicated person you’ll ever encounter. Proof is that she changed her email from noudynoudy6@gmail.com to nadaahmed@gmail.com just for MUN. Since I’ve started working with Nada, I’ve really learned that anything could be done. No matter the circumstances, she always manages to finish her work but also to perfect it. She’s very hardworking and makes sure to achieve every goal she has in mind. Once you get closer to Nada you end up realizing that you always need her; she’s constantly cheerful and exudes this wonderful positive energy wherever she goes with her contagious smile.
If you ever need help just call Nada at any time of the day and she will listen to you for hours and will end up giving you the best advice you can receive. This is one of the many reasons why she fits perfectly for the EAC position. But if she ever starts laughing in the most random times don’t get surprised she’s just trying to deal with the situation.
I’m very grateful to share my last OISMUN experience with such a kind hearted person by our side.

Janna El Nashar
Executive Advisor
Get to know Janna
Joujou, this letter will never do her justice because no paragraph could ever describe how special she is. Janna is a kind and caring individual who always has the brightest and most contagious smile on her face. Every time we talk it just always ends in hysterical laughter and I’m sure everyone can agree that her energy is unmatched. She’s really one of the most helpful people you’ll ever meet. Having to work side by side in the same executive team in our last OISMUN has been amazing and our friendship is something I truly cherish. She sincerely has one of the best personalities that I’ve ever seen, and she can only be described as joyful. Her heart of gold and her wise thinking, easily make her stand out in a large group of people. Not to sound sexist, but she’s one of the very few girls to really make me laugh sometimes with her unique sense of humor. I’d consider myself lucky for being friends with her, because she’s one of the few likeable and good people I’ve met in school. Thank you so much for everything you have done to me and to the team ya J.
ORGANIZATION TEAM
Amina El Kalyoubi
Vice-Head of the Organisation team
Get to know Amina
There is so much to say about Amina that it won’t fit in only 200 words. Amina is one of the
funniest and most enthusiastic people you’ll ever meet. Amina’s humor is very very special. You always wish not to laugh about her jokes but it’s unfortunately impossible. She can turn any serious moment into an inside joke. She can and will always match your energy, which makes it way way easier to feel comfortable around her. She is a very helpful person, always there for you when you need it. I just wish all the effort we put in would get us good grades in math. Amina literally knows everything, and it’s impressive how she is able to keep quiet with all the secrets she hears and all the embarrassing things she knows about every single person inside and outside the school (especially what happens in English classes). One piece of advice: never look too much at Amina’s Tiktok and social media feeds. It’s one of the dumbest, funniest, and most addictive/influencing things you could ever imagine. To summarize everything, Amina is one of the most amazing and unique people, and I am lucky to have her, as I’m sure anyone else would be too.

Youssef Hammouda
Head of the Organisation team
Get to know Youssef
Hammo, the most enthusiastic person you’ll ever meet. I can confidently say that Hammouda is the kindest and most caring person you will ever get to know, without a doubt he has been by everyone’s side, he’s the most reliable, the person you can count on anytime and anywhere, moreover whenever you need something he’s the first to show up. He has many good qualities that are both visible once you meet him and very precious once you get close to him. First of all, he is an amazingly hard worker determined to put in all his effort to reach his goals. It is admirable how he balances all he has to do in a very organized manner. I am so happy to have the opportunity to get to know him, we have gotten closer and closer since we started this experience. Every conversation with him will always turn into a fascinating discussion. To many more endless zoom calls. Besides the fact that he does NOT laugh at my joke, which I take very very personally, I am very happy and excited to have the chance to work with him, to more memories together..
Farida Afia
Vice-Head of the Organisation team
Get to know Farida
Did I know her before this year? No. Do I regret that? 100%. Farida is the type of person who does a whole 180 when you get to know her. Trust me, you’ll never believe how differently I see her now as opposed to last year. The amount of fun, embarrassing, and weird moments I’ve had with Farida over the last few months are uncountable. From playing XO with a random stranger in a restaurant using airdrop to secretly filming Diala using tiktok (She definitely saw us), you’ll never feel bored in a room with Farida. I’m convinced there has to be something in the way farida acts or maybe it’s just her, but every time we walk past each other we start laughing, no reason at all, even when we’re getting yelled at… In all seriousness, she’s the type of person that will always give her all, she never disappoints, and is a great team player. I found all that out in about 2 months, and I can’t wait to learn way more in the next 10 we’ll be in the team together for. Another thing, no, I won’t swap letters with you, not very hard to figure out why now is it?
Alliance will never fall.

Ruqayyah Sokkar
Head of Administration
Get to Know Ruqayyah
As I write this letter, I realize there may not be a way I can describe the incredible person
Ruqayyah is simply through writing. Ruqayyah is the kind of person who leaves a mark in your life, a person who makes every
instant memorable. I can recall all our inside jokes from years ago (regardless of how bad they
were). I still cherish them because they remind me of all the times we’ve spent laughing together. Even through the toughest and most stressful times we’ve been through, the countless phone
calls, having her with me and being able to say “we did it” at the end was probably what helped
make it all worth it.In fact, Ruqayyah is the first person I go to when I have any problem, because she never
fails to make things lighter and to give me some much-needed advice. She knows exactly what to
say and when to say it. I can’t imagine a more reliable person; she truly has become a constant in
my life. As a team, we couldn’t have been any luckier to have her as our Head of Administration, and I’m even luckier to have her as a friend.

spirit that makes all situations lively and fun. You can always count on her to put a big smile on
your face. Without that being said her charismatic personality flips your mood 360 degrees. If

obsession with Al hob la yafham al Kalam. Finally, keep being the pure, genuine person you are
& never change.

In a very short time, she grew to be more than a sister to me. She brings energy into each place she enters. Fatima could be the most organized person I’ve ever seen; you could tell her notebook from 50 different ones, they’re always colorful and decorated; just looking at her pencil case would be enough to confirm this. She is the kind of person with whom you could have both the deepest and the dumbest conversations. She always supports and respects anyone without conditions. I am lucky to have her in my life. Don’t you dare go talk to Fatima after an exam; she’ll simply start shouting in your face, and tell you how bad she did and that she’s failing but in the end she gets very good grades.

Ahmed El Tayebi
Head of Catering
Get to Know Ahmed
Knowing Tayebi since P4, I obviously know a lot about him, so describing him in less than 200 words will be challenging. From his sense of humor and stupidity to his logical thinking and hard work, Ahmed has many qualities that make him the perfect friend and colleague. Ahmed impresses me with his ability to balance his academic and athletic life. Being the tennis and swimming champion he is, it’s very inspiring once you truly get to know how dedicated he is to his sports, and this dedication is something we should all learn from him. Ali always pushes everyone around him to their limits whether it’s in proving a point, Or whether it’s in something related to schoolwork because he always likes to produce high quality work.

Kadry is one of my closest friends and I’m delighted to call him my brother. Kadry is the funniest person you’ll ever meet in your whole life; he can turn the most serious things into the silliest jokes. Kouki is the kind of person that is willing to do literally anything to prove his point; you can have a serious debate with him about penne being better than spaghetti. The words that describe Youssef are funny, hilarious and loyal (not really). Kadry is a very welcoming person; he can make you a cup of tea at midnight in his house, but at the same time he can run after you with a fully loaded RPG because you touched one of his statues. Him and I share a very unique/incomprehensible bond, if you wanted to define our friendship, you would define us as partners in crime. We weren’t always friends, but now, we are inseparable. Kadry is a hard worker; he constantly strives to be the best at what he does and he always astounds me with what he can accomplish. Without a doubt, Youssef will be a good addition to our team and will amaze us with his abilities (please don’t food poison us!).

She is a very hardworking and determined person who will follow her goals no matter what. She is someone I can relate to like no other. She cries about everything and makes a funny crying face but that is what makes her special. Nour will tell you the worst jokes and will be the only one laughing at them. I am blessed to have her.

To anyone who doesn’t know Haya, or as I like to call her, Hayouy… I am sorry to tell you that you are TRULY missing out. If you do know her, you should consider yourself extremely lucky, I know I am. If you don’t, I’ll try to describe how much of a privilege it is to have someone like her in your life. Hayouy is the type of person who will never ever fail you. Do you need help? She’s the one offering it. Do you need advice? She’s giving it to you. Do you need someone to talk to? She’s always there to listen. Something she doesn’t quite appreciate in herself as everyone else around her does, is how dedicated and hard-working she is. She’ll always do her best in whatever task is at hand. Being completely honest, I’m quite jealous of the people getting to work with her during our conferences; there isn’t a better partner to be around. Hence, let’s swap places? Everything she does is more than enough for everyone around her, and I can speak for everybody who knows her when I say : Hayouy, we are extremely proud of you, keep lighting up every room you’re in.

Finally, Zoghby is one of the strongest people I’ve ever met, and nothing can ever stop her. You should always expect the unexpected from her.

Sal is one of the most unique people you’ll ever come across, you’d be lucky to have her by your side , and the fact that I’m writing about her for the second time, says just how lucky I am. She has never failed to put a smile on everyone’s faces, her excitement and laugh alone are more than enough to make a room burst. It’s physically impossible to be bored around salma, she’ll always have things to talk about, if not activities to do. ALWAYS. I met Sal 3 years ago, and even though I really miss the feeling of not having a headache 24/7 — And despite how she can manage to get on every single one of my nerves , I consider myself the luckiest to have someone like Sal by my side.Finally, I can not end this letter without mentioning how obsessively organized she is, and how much of a headache she is (don’t say I didn’t warn you). This girl can manage to keep a phone call ALONE, without you having to say a word, try it ( I mean ,I have ). Can’t believe I survived this long around you sister ( if you ever call her ,tip : panadol migraine works best, thank me later 😉
Mohamed El Kholy
Head of Sponsors
Get to know Kholy
At first glance, Mohamed El Kholy is my friend since we both were kids. He seems like the type of guy you wouldn’t want to mess with, but I guess, you can never judge a book by its cover. A couple of minutes into knowing Kholy would make you realize how nice of a guy he really is. Kholy is the funniest person you can ever meet, he has the sense of humor that’d leave you rolling on the ground from historical laughter. I gotta admit it, the guy’s pretty funny when he’s in a good mood. Sometimes you’d catch Kholy acting all tough, but from the inside, Kholy’s a really nice guy. But don’t forget, to see that nice side of Kholy, you need to sacrifice your school breakfast. Don’t ever have a serious talk with Kholy because he doesn’t know how to handle a serious situation at all. But although you need to consider him as your best friend, he will have your back no matter what. Kholy and I had our ups and downs, but in the end, I can proudly say that he is my best friend.

Malouka can always turn a gloomy day into a brighter one. Her giving me food everyday because I never get mine is what I look forward to the most. Her generosity is definitely something to never forget about her. When you spend time with her, one word from her will leave you bursting with laughter. Despite that, Malak is the most consistent and devoted person when it comes to work. Her dedication is beyond impressive, and whoever gets to work with her should consider themselves lucky. In a nutshell, It will be worthwhile to get to know her. Her peculiar yet endearing personality is what distinguishes her and keeps her on your mind.

Dahab El Hanbaly
Journalist Administration
Get to know Dahab
Perfectionist, ambitious, that’s what she is known for. Before you really know her, you’ll get confused about how she manages to talk about 20 different things in one minute and you will never notice the moment she jumps into another subject. That’s her way of showing consideration of everything her mind thinks of and her excitement. You’ll be surprised when I tell you that tarteel is the perfect person to have a deep conversation with and wander into complex philosophical ideas about life, because of her nonstop jokes she tells from movies and tiktoks that I don’t understand and will not understand. She is a real efficient multi-tasker, if she doesn’t find two things to do at the same time, she will probably sing, listen to music or speak while doing the task, which makes her the best fit to work in chaotic circumstances. Her qualities are a reflection of a great leader; her thoughtfulness of other people’s needs cannot be described. It is entirely refreshing to witness her dedication and perseverance. She doesn’t settle for anything less than perfect which makes her perfect for this conference.

Laila Abdelbar
Photography Administration
Get to Know Laila
Laila’s one of the most caring people in the world and always supports her friends. When you feel lost and need someone to talk to without fear of being judged, Laila’s the person to turn to. She’s the strongest, hardest working and most outgoing person I’ve ever met. She’s the kind of person who pushes you until you’re at your best, especially during training. Despite the fact that sometimes she can’t control her anger, she’s the kindest person you’ll ever meet. Laila is the most independent person I know and as our friend group calls her “the mom of the group”. She’s also known for giving the best advice, even though most of the time we don’t listen to it, we always appreciate her efforts with us.Laila’s the type of person you can always count on and will always stand by you, no matter what. She has an unhealthy obsession with Gilmore Girls that’s very concerning. NO ONE will ever be able to say that they have rewatched this show more than she has. Lately, she has also developed an obsession with Abba and can’t stop singing their songs. Trust me, you’ll never experience a dull moment around her.
Karma Essam
Head of Admins
Get to Know Karma
Karma, there’s something about this girl and viruses that just doesn’t make sense. Always sick or injured and no one knows why. You’ll never see her walking around just “fine”, it’s always a dislocated shoulder, fever, broken leg, runny nose…ALWAYS. For some reason her bad luck is always popping on Wednesdays. We can’t promise that what she’s saying will make sense but believe me she always knows what she’s talking about. (Always listen to her advice 😉 ). She’s really smart even if she doesn’t show it all the time and believe me if you look hard enough you’ll find a brain up there…that actually works. Despite all that Kaغma has one of the most kindest hearts you’ll come across in your life. She’s the type of person who would burn down the world for you, she will ACTUALLY murder whoever annoys you. But don’t you dare think that you’ll ever compare to what her dog means to her. ( If Luna doesn’t like you, Karma definitely won’t). Forever ma pote préférée.
Cherif El Nomrosy
Vice-Head of Admins
Get to Know Cherif
Cherif isn’t an easy person to describe in just 200 words, Cherif is one of the most caring, cheerful, and funniest people you can ever meet. Nomrosy likes to treat school like it’s an optional place to go to every day. Cherif can go weeks without coming to school. He likes to drive the teachers crazy and likes to hand in the E-portfolio assignments 43 days past their due date and likes to study for the exams the lesson before we’re having them. Class with Cherif is never boring, he’s either telling annoying jokes that no one likes or keeps on talking and talking until he makes half of the class angry at him. When he comes to school we always celebrate since he never does. Cherif is one of the most amazing tennis players ever, or so he claims. He’s one of the most passionate people I’ve ever met. Although he doesn’t come to school and we barely see him, he always tries to do his best and likes to help other people achieve as well. Cherif will never fail to make you laugh with his weird jokes that are always said during inconvenient times.

There is a lot I want to say about Lara, more than I can explain in 200 words. You won’t meet a more intelligent or admirable person than Lara. She brings life to each space she enters and constantly puts the needs of those around her above her own. You won’t find a friend who is more self-assured, trustable, and creative than Lara. When I’m talking to Lara, despite the fact that I’m not the most sociable and sometimes awkward, I feel at ease and like I want to tell her about my entire life. Spending time with and talking to her is what I look forward to every time. Lara will quickly inspire you with her warmth and will act as a reminder that anything is possible if you put your mind to it when you’re having a bad day or feeling unmotivated.

I’m confident that she will succeed as an SO as she’ll bring so much creativity, uniqueness and professionalism in this conference.

Kenzy Louay
Student Officer
Get to Know Kenzy
Kenzy or as she likes to call herself “kenz-benz” is a force of energy. One of my favorite people ever. She’s truly a positive presence, someone who brightens your day, someone always filled and bursting with energy so infectious it’s crazy. She’s literally always smiling, and by that I mean ALWAYS. She’s honestly the worst person to look at in serious situations while trying not to laugh, one look at her bright red face and you’ll burst. She’s also (for whatever reason) always screaming, she gets easily excited and NEVER fails to show it. Kenzy is one of the most put together people ever. She’s honestly one of the most organized and hardworking people, no one works harder. She’s ALWAYS there when needed, the proper definition of dependable. She’s also very driven, and always presents work that meets her HIGH standards, a true perfectionist if I may add. She might be so stubborn it’s maddening, but that’s simply because she’s incredibly passionate, when Kenzy cares about something she cares with every fiber in her and gives her all, that’s why anyone who works with her is lucky and whoever her delegates are, will undoubtedly have a memorable experience.

Mariam Talaat
Student Officer
Get to Know Mariam
Mariam is one of the most vivacious, lazy, and tranquil people you have ever seen. Mariam is a highly unique individual, and her career transition from an OT member to a Student Officer demonstrates both how varied and admirable she is. What I like most about Mariam is her tenacity. She is powerful and occasionally dumb, but she has never let anyone down who needed her. Even if Mariam is in fact my best friend, it is difficult to convey everything into only 200 words to describe her. Mariam is all-encompassing, which means she is a talker, listener, singer, and dancer all in one. Mariam is someone you can depend on at all times if you need someone to chat to or listen to you; even if you don’t know each other, she will be pleased to do so. and I speak from personal experience because I know that Mariam constantly looks out for me and supports me in even the most awkward circumstances. And believe me when I say that she will always produce the best work since it is her thing when she is enthusiastic about and loves what she does. Thank you for always “twinning” with me every day (only Mariam would comprehend this part), and this part is for her to “make it her thing.”

Even though Mario and I got to know each other since c3, she’s truly a blessing. Mario is one of the smartest and hardworking people I know!! Mario never shares food (or at least her fried chicken wrap). She’s always ready for a walk so if you go take a walk with her you’ll definitely be her best friend. I was a delegate 3 times, luckily Mariam was my president twice, she always made sure everyone understood and she was always there to help everyone!! She was always trying to make the sessions as fun as possible!! Don’t try to call Mariam because she NEVER answers and she prefers chatting. I want to thank her for bearing my “bad” jokes that never made her laugh but I sent them anyway! 2 events of being a delegate in Mariam’s committee, I can assure you that the delegates will go through an unforgettable experience with Mariam as a president and her partner will be so lucky to work with her!!!
Sarah Mubarak

Get to Know Sarah
There are so many things I could say to describe Sarah. She’s truly someone that I could talk about for ages. I’ve known Sarah for around 13 years now and there’s never been a dull moment with her. It’s been a blessing to have her as a friend, as she’s one of the funniest people I know and can easily brighten up your day. She’s very understanding and supportive and is willing to help no matter what. Despite her ability to continuously say the weirdest things and get told off by her friends, Sarah is also very well spoken and gives great advice. You also can’t ignore how strong of a person she is in terms of her character, as she will always stand up for herself and for others. Sarah is one of the most dedicated, hardworking, and intelligent people I’ve ever met and you can always count on her to be serious when needed.

Laila Mohamed
Student Officer
Get to Know Laila
Summing up Laila in 200 words is like asking someone to talk about their favorite series for exactly 30 seconds, impossible. Laila is a very passionate person, not only is she fun and motivated and energetic, she’s also serious and organized and gets the job done, whatever job she’s required to do, just know it will be handed in exactly how you asked it to be. If it weren’t for her constant reminders to be on top of our work and actually finish our work, we’d be behind all the time. Not only is she someone you can rely on, but she’s an amazing person to be around once you get to know her. No matter how deep or shallow the topic is, she’ll always find a way to contribute and share her most honest opinion in such a poetic way. Don’t let the shy surface fool you, because she is way more than that. Under all of the seriousness, there’s this girl that’s obsessed with marvel, tea and formula one and has a dream to become the world’s best neurosurgeon and thrive in the medical industry. If anyone can achieve that, I know it’s her.
Khadija Bazid
Student Officer
Get to Know Khadija
Describing Khadija in 200 words is hard, if not impossible. I could go on about her for hours since she has so many sides to her personality. She is so cheerful, fun, and goofy. Khadija can be considered an outgoing workaholic who strives to improve herself constantly. She’s the type of person that would be calm in any given situation, unaffected by difficulties, she possesses the composure of a Tibetan monk. The amount of effort she puts into her work is both terrifying and crazy and it’s always a privilege to have her as part of your team. She’s one of the fewest people who can actually handle any sort of situation. Despite her being this drought of energy, whenever she works on a task, she makes sure to complete it perfectly and devotes her entirety into it. she is without a doubt, one of the most trustworthy and determined people out there. It is extremely fun when she is around, her light-hearted personality, and her hard work and dedication guarantee you a good company.
Khadija Dallah
Student Officer
Get to Know Khadija
Most adorable team member! Although I don’t know her that well, anyone can tell straight away that she’s the most perfect example of how girls are capable of everything and anything! You may notice how pretty her hair is and how beautiful she is; nevertheless, her intelligence’s beauty is what makes her so unique. I’m greatly confident in the fact that she’s going to be one of the best student officers that will ever come across OISMUN. From winning best journalist, to becoming one of the most amazing presidents and holding debates of her own in her committee, which the newer and younger journalists will report; the cycle just continues gracefully! She has the most genuine smile, strong personality, is incredibly intelligent and wonderful, she’s one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet! Finally, never ever stop smiling and spreading your positivity.
lama Walid
Student Officer
Get to Know Lama
Lama is a very shy and quiet person, the first time we met each other she always kept to herself. So don’t be worried about the bit of distance she puts when you meet her because she’s actually a very chaotic and hilarious person. I’ve known Lama for a very short period of time, but in our 2 years of friendship I find myself discovering new quirks about her that I didn’t know. She’s a very understanding person that will sit and listen to your rants while giving her opinion (sassy comments and looks) about it and always knows when to hit the punch-line and make you laugh. She’s a genuine person that you easily talk to about deep discussion and feel comfortable. Though she may look cute, don’t be fooled, she can have a sharp tongue and strong (tiny) fists that will hit you hard if she wants. She’s stubborn and knows well what she wants but that makes her unique. Lama came late into my life but her impact in it has been so strong and we always have fun together and I am so proud that I get to share my OISMUN experience with her this year.
Lojaina Kayed
Student Officer
Get to Know Ruqayyah
Having to describe Ruqayyah in less than 200 words is definitely the hardest task. As cliché as it sounds, Ruqayyah and I started off hating each other. But to my surprise we ended up forming an unbreakable bond. Ruqayyah is the kind of person who no matter what will always put the closest people to her before herself. She is without a doubt the nicest, most selfless, prettiest and hard working person I know. Whether you’re close or not, you can always count on Ruqayyah. Ruqayyah is the type of person who’s willing to do anything with you unless it’s dancing, yet the most energetic and positive person. If you ever want to please Ruqayyah get her Dunkin iced coffee and she will do whatever you want. She can share anything with you except her chicken strips and pineapple juice. I feel incredibly lucky to have someone in my life who supports me as much as Ruqayyah does. Most importantly, one of the qualities I admire the most about her is her genuine caring. The person who gets to work with Ruqayyah is definitely the luckiest PS: Never look at Ruqayyah in a serious situation because she will most likely laugh.
Maia Meki
Student Officer
Get to Know Maia
Hardworking, passionate, and creative are only some of the words I would choose to describe Maia. She’s the kind of person who, in any situation, will not fail to bring a smile to your face. Other than having such an endearing personality, Maia is one of the most adorable and energetic people I know. When I say she has a heart of pure gold, I really mean it. She always puts others’ needs before hers, and will not hesitate to help anyone, even if she doesn’t know them. Despite her cuteness, Maia can be a firm and diligent person. She’s serious and determined, and always makes sure her work is of the best quality. Weirdly enough, Maia is a very random person. One day, she could be talking to me about her undying love for iced tea and the other about her strange obsession with stationery. Being clumsy is one of her specialties. No day has ever gone by without her falling on the stairs or stumbling into a chair. All jokes aside, anyone would be more than grateful to have a friend like her, and there is no doubt that Maia will make an exceptional addition to the team.
Nour Sami
Student Officer
Get to Know Nour
Nour or Makkouk, as everyone calls her, is one of the most special people I’ve ever met. She
always manages to fill any room with her presence, with her sweetness, her sense of humor but most importantly her heavenly brownies (and this is an understatement). Nour is the type of person that you get with just one look, and that is because of the exaggerated expressions that she always fails to hide. She always manages to make the best out of any situation, regardless of how bad it is, and never fails to find a way to put a smile on your face. Even though Nour might seem like she’s a calm and collected person, in reality she’s one of the craziest people you’ll ever meet. When I think of Nour one word always comes to mind, ENERGY. She always gets excited over the smallest things and that alone always makes your day a thousand times better. Nour always manages to match anyone’s energy and makes sure that everyone feels included. Her dedication and determination to exceed expectations truly inspires me, and for that reason anyone that gets the chance to work with her really is lucky.

Yusuf manages his time in a good way that enables him to deliver the assigned tasks on time. He is a very hard worker with high ownership skills.

On the friendship aspect, anyone who deals with Yusuf can understand the exact meaning of the proverb: “A friend in need is a friend indeed”. He cares a lot about the people around him, he shares with them their hard and happy times. I have the confidence that working with Yusuf will make OISMUN XVI an unforgettable experience with an exceptional vibe!!!
Jana Khaled
Student Officer
Get to Know Jana
Jana is the meaning of the mix of everything good. She is the sweetest most kind-hearted person I know. That girl was there for me through everything, and I am eternally grateful for her. Her sense of humor is like no other; it is wicked and fun, dark but sweet. No amount of words can describe how nice she is. Even at her lowest she always finds a way to put a smile on people’s faces. I still remember, years ago how we both met, how she showed me kindness and empathy without even knowing me. She is truly the best. She is so creative and intelligent. It’s always impressive to me how she understands things in her way and explains them in the best way possible. She is the definition of bright. She is bubbly… so bubbly, but it is one of the things I love most about her. Wherever she goes, chaos ensues; however, somehow, it is always good chaos. The best adventures I have ever had were with her. To the girl that loves Lana Del Rey and Avril Lavigne, the 90’s movies and the downtown girl aesthetic thank you for everything you have done.
Lara Awad
Student Officer
Get to Know Lara
Lara or as I like to call her larr is honestly one of the most incredible people I have ever met and I am lucky to be able to consider her one of my best friends. She is one of the most thoughtful people I have ever met; from distributing cards to each and every one of her friends on Valentine’s day to being there for everyone whenever they needed it, she has done it all. One thing about Lara is that she will never fail to put a smile on your face, and she has a good way of relieving peoples’ stress. I will never get bored of correcting her french orthographe or making fun of her lame jokes, and I genuinely hope our friendship stays this way forever. Lara is both creative and innovative. She never fails to impress us with her crazy ideas and plans (especially when it comes to théâtre), and working with her is so enjoyable. Honest, dedicated and dependable, I am in no doubt that whoever works with Lara is going to realize how unique she truly is, and I know for a fact that she will be an amazing asset to the team.

Tamara, Timmy, or Tim’s is one of the most loveable people you will ever meet , and for good reason! She makes the perfect friend. You need help in your last minute presentation , she’s there. You need advice ,she’s there. You’re in the middle of a breakdown and need a shoulder to cry on, she’s there. You need someone to fix your makeup ,she’s there. Don’t get me wrong, if you need to make a decision , she’s there being just as indecisive as you . But in all other ways , Tamara always shines wherever she is , her creativity along with her crazy energy make the best out of every possible situation. “She’s a shot of espresso” as her favorite person said.

Khadija Hesham
Crisis Officer
Get to Know Khadija
Khadija, my first friend ever. Since we were 6, Khadija knew big words and used them occasionally with dumb toddlers. When my brother and I used to fight, she would interfere and usually take his side. I hated it so much. She was so casually reasonable that it got on my nerves as a kid. Although she seemed intelligent, she was also weird. She used to come over to my house, eat french fries, make popsicles, and leave. We would hang out, and eat chocolate-dipped strawberries and junk food until tante Rehab takes her home. Khadija’s the type of person that startles you with the creepiest and darkest piece of information during the oddest time. She’d say something so extremely scary that you won’t even know what to say. If she ever does, just pretend you’re zoned out and don’t answer. Regardless, Khadija’s the first person to come to mind when you need a real hug. The crisis officer position was modeled for Khadija, unpredictable as she is. Khadija works hard, you’ll need to reassure her sometimes because she’s an unsatisfied perfectionist. Blunt and sweet, creepy and comforting, awkward and social, that’s who Khadija is and how we’ve always loved her.

Fatouma touma ah will definitely be the song playing at my first dance. From the moment we got closer to now there’s nothing but chaotic main characters moments. You’re the life of the party and possibly my future inmate. From stuffing pizza in a plastic bag to literally being in debt together. It’s so hard imagining us not being friends cause who will I text every small business idea to or talk about my non-existent podcast with ? Who will go to the gym with me only to eat feteer after? Stalk my crushes and accidentally be present on their birthday? You’re also the only person who gets my taste and is always on the same page with me. We went from Writing trashy love songs to scripting Turkish movies. I loved being your background vocalist even when I sound like a dying cat. Or choreographing the next viral tik tok dance together. You’re the most supportive person I have ever seen, you would stick with me to every illogical hormones driven plan. I am not sure if I should cherish it or cut our friendship before one of us dies.. I’ll leave that up to you xoxo.

Lanoun’s sweet smile is surely the first thing anyone notices about her. A smile that literally lights up any place. You look at Lana and you see a shy/calm person right? Wrong… I can assure you, Lana isn’t as shy as she looks. She is actually the most entertaining and energetic person you’ll ever meet 🙂 13 years of friendship in which I had the blessing to see her grow to this amazing, hard working and intelligent person. I don’t know how she does it, but in all situations she always knows the right thing to say and to do. Despite taking the FATTEST NAPS during Arabic to the point where we all start to question if she’s still conscious, she is the most diligent person you’ll ever meet. You give her a task, she does it with her full capacity and does it with passion. The most empathetic person to the point where she’ll cry with you even though she doesn’t know why you’re crying. Throughout our 13 years of sisterhood, I have never felt out of place when I’m with her. She makes everyone feel welcomed <3 Based on personal experience, I recommend you get a Lana ASAP!
