PNG School embarks on fundraising drive with 'Friends of Don Bosco'
PORT MORESBY: 12th July 2007 -- As reported in the Port Moresby
based newspaper The Nationa, in a bid to offer more training
alternatives and to cater for the growing number of young people
dropping out of the education system, Don Bosco Technical College
located at Gabutu, Port Moresby, has embarked on a major fundraising
drive which would help in the establishment of additional learning
facilities.
The school, which is responsible for the training of
many young people all over the country, officially launched the
‘Friends of Don Bosco’ last Sunday at Gabutu as part of the fundraising
initiative.
The launching ceremony was witnessed by the chairman
of the Commission for Higher Education, Simon Kenehe, teachers, staff,
parents and guardians including students of Don Bosco Technical School.
The school believed that having a support network
like ‘Friends of Don Bosco’ would help in achieving its vision to form
young people, especially the poor and non-selected to be “Good
Christians, honest citizens and servant leaders of today”.
Friends of Don Bosco is an association of
benefactors who believe in and support the education philosophy of Don
Bosco Technical School.
The institution is now inviting ex-pupils
(Bosconians), former teachers, former and present parents, corporate
businesses and other individuals, who are willing to support the
school, to be part of the association by becoming ‘Friends of Don
Bosco’.
It involves giving a minimum of 100 Kina (the PNG currency
(USD1=K.345), living in the spirit of St. John Bosco and sharing time
and talent for special projects of the association. _________________ AustraLasia is an
