Past Pupils' enterprise to be especially proud of
SAN JOSE CITY (Phil): 23 September 2005 -- The
sprawling metropolis known as Metro Manila contains some 17 cities, one
of which is San Jose City. The Salesians have been there since
1993, with a small community engaged in a training centre located in
the Nueva Ecija area. The centre is known, obviously enough, as the Don
Bosco Training Centre. Three past pupils (in the Philippines they
are called Bosconians) from the first and second batch from this
training centre have now set up an Enterprise Shelter Department.
The Department has begun operation this month.
The ESD is a joint SDB-Consuelo Foundation
project. The Consuelo Foundation is the work of a Filipina, a
financially well-endowed woman who inherited her fortune from her Ayala
connections - another well-known name in the Philippines - and who was
inspired by the words of St Teresa of the Child Jesus to make her love
deeds, not just words.
The aim of the new Enterprise Shelter Development is
to provide job or self-employment for skilled and experienced past
pupils of the Don Bosco Training Centre who have undergone further
specialised training in the Makati or Mandaluyong Training Centres, as
well as having job experience with Toyota, Nissan and Mitsubishi.
The Shelter provides services in the following
trades: automotive, refrigeration, air conditioning, electrical,
welding, carpentry. The old automotive workshop was adapted for
the purposes of the new Shelter. Further information can be
