Kimbe, West New Britain, PNG 12 May 2021 -- The Caritas Technical Secondary School students in Kimbe, West New Britain Province were delighted with the informative presentation on the Preventive System of Don Bosco by Fr Ambrose Pereira sdb, on Thursday May 29 2021.


300 girls from different denominations attending the school, eagerly participated and listened attentively as he highlighted the three pillars of: Reason Religion and Rapport.


“You may come from different denominations but the quest for God is reflected in our Spirituality. It is seen in our discipline, our commitment to bring out the best in our lives and the respect for all our brothers and sisters”, said Fr Ambrose. “Our country needs you to give hope to others especially at this time when our country is in turmoil – amidst the pandemic and the ever increasing violence,” he said as he encouraged the enthusiastic future leaders to build on their ‘rhythm of life’.


Sr Florentina Cho, School Directness and Sr Sara Park, Superior of the community were delighted to have the Social Communications team visit and share the afternoon with the students. Together as staff and sisters they are doing their best to build a solid foundation amidst the students as they cater to an increasing number of intakes every year.


The team was accompanied by Mr. Brendon Kaita, former DBTI graduate and presently Christian Religious Education Coordinator and Diocese Representative Coordinating. He reminded the students that there is no substitute for hard work and all need to work hard to complete the task at hand.


It was all smiles for everyone after the session as the students were very pleased with the new knowledge they gained during the presentation. It helped them to look at things from a different perspective and appreciate being part of the larger Salesian family.
