🏢 About the local organisation
La Consolacion College of Bais City (LCC) takes the lead in the operation of the Inday Pita Tevez Escaño Farm School which is located in the interior mountain part of Bais City. The farm school aims to develop local young farmers and the out-of school youth who live within or nearby the community to study through the Alternative Learning System or Open High school, so they can continue on vocational-technology courses or degree courses and develop socio-entrepreneurship among upland youth who are driven by an emotional and spiritual desire to address social, ecological, and economic conditions such as poverty, forest denudation and educational deprivation.
