Sad news
We regret to have to mention that our late treasurer,
Prof. Leda Siburu finally passed away on July 2nd.
Many members had got used to Leda’s helpful ways and
APrIR will be forever grateful to her for her many years of
dedication.
Leda worked as an English teacher for many years both in
private and state educational institutions. Those of us who
shared social events with her or merely went about with
her to run the many errands that APrIR required witnessed her former students’ loving
greetings across bank counters, shops and in the street. Leda was, above all, a dedicated
teacher who will be dutifully remembered.
We would like to thank all our members and representatives of sister Teacher Associations,
including FAAPI President Cristina Mayol, for their condolences, which we passed on to
Leda’s family.
