Best Buddies Australia (BBA) is a not for profit organisation (NGO) with a primary focus of providing socially inclusive friendships to people who have an intellectual disability. ==History== BBA's history originates with Best Buddies International. During 2004, BBI approached the New South Wales Council for Intellectual Disability, offering a creative and innovate program for adults and young people who have an intellectual disability. Coincidentally, a staff member from Melbourne Big Brothers Big Sisters approached BBI at the same time asking to bring the program to Australia. After securing a modest grant from the New South Wales Government, BBA became incorporated in November 2004. The initial program focused on High School Students located in NSW and the provision of an independent Best Buddies Victoria Program focusing on Citizens (Adults). During 2007 additional funds were located and the organisation recruited its first Executive Director, Mark Trevaskis. In the following years, Best Buddies Australia has grown substantially, incorporating Victoria into a National framework. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Best Buddies Australia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
