Posted on
The BA Sinnari House (Cairo) received a high-level delegation of the BA Board of Trustees (BoT), chiefly composed of Dr. Farouk El-Baz, Director of the Center for Remote Sensing, Boston; Rosalia Artega, former president of Ecuador; Rexhep Meidani, former president of the Republic of Albania; Tarja Halonen, former president of Finland; Nicéphore Soglo, former president of Benin; and Professors Nina V. Fedoroff, Margaret Catley-Carlson, Kazuo Takahashi and Mikhail Piotrovsky—as well as Sir Gordon Conway and Dr. Justin Lin.
The BA BoT members were given a tour of the Sinnari House, exploring the various sections, exhibits and masterpieces it holds. They also attended a folkloric performance, and have expressed their fascination of the house as a historical site, as well as its role as a cultural beacon.
They have furthermore visited the Sunni School near the Sinnari House; it should be mentioned that BA director, Dr. Mostafa El-Feki, highlighted the importance of documenting the heritage of this prestigious school within the frame of the historic role undertaken by the BA.
The delegation was accompanied by a number of eminent BA representatives, including head of sectors and department directors.
