A meaningful and fruitful day shone
on May 19, 2011 between Bayan Academy
and Simon of Cyrene Children’s
Rehabilitation and Development
Foundation, Inc. when the latter
went to the former for an exposure
study.
Bayan
Academy welcomed the Simon of Cyrene’s
Board of Trustees and management
staff who came to Bayan Academy
as a part of their 29th
Anniversary Celebration. During this
celebration, Simon of Cyrene visited
partner organizations based in Manila to support its new
direction for the 2011-2015
strategic goals. One of which is to
be a Training Institute for
Leadership and Research, which they
want to explore partnership with
Bayan Academy. Initial agreements were made
that
Bayan Academy will be providing related
services and programs in Bicol
through Simon of Cyrene.
