Meeting With EAI

 

Another NGO coming into the conference hall for a meeting was Sir Joel Dizon from Equal Access International last March 17, 2021. EAI Country Director also joined our meeting online while he was in General Santos City. I heard Asec Fhadz calling him Tam. Sir Joel was just alone from EAI while we were four: 1. Asec Alfhadar P. Pajiji; 2. Alanisa M. Bantuas; 3. John Eric A. Berdijo and 4. Supersam. Sir Tata played the role of IT-man setting the projector for Sir Joel to connect his laptop to the screen for presentation. We were busy taking notes with Ma'am Nis over the conversation made between Sir Fhadz and Sir Joel. EAI is another intervention to MBHTE that focuses on youth formation and development based on the PowerPoint presentation of Sir Joel.

There are six (6) slots allotted for Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). Three slots are for senior high school and also three for Alternative Learning System (ALS). Sir Joel stressed that the selection or identification of targeted schools would be in the hands of EAI. The role of the MBHTE might just be a co-team in program review. EAI would be open to any recommendations and suggestions coming from MBHTE relative to the program. Memorandum of Understanding would be executed later between EAI and the Education Ministry. Sir Joel asked my email add for him to send the copies of the MOU.
