Don Bosco Industrial Skills Training Centre 9th Graduation Day
Bro Andrew Tran le Phuong sdb
ULAANBAATAR (Mongolia): 7th June -- On June 5th, a windy, dusty First Friday morning greeted our 53 graduates: 6 sewing, 15 secretarial, 14 auto mechanic, 11 plumbing, welding, 7 carpentry students from the 5 departments respectively. This year's theme: "It is good to dream but it is better to make that dream come true", from Cagliero11 (Mission Newsletter) 11-05.
For the present, the Don Bosco Industrial Skills Training Centre has 260 students. Next school year there will be around 70 Graduates.
The outgoing Salesian Provincial, Fr John Baptist Nguyen Van Them, from Vietnam, happily welcomed the parents, guests and graduates. He stressed the motto of the graduation, indicating that the day would certainly be a happy one if all the graduates were to find proper and stable employment.
The invited guest speaker was Mr. Batbaatar, Chief of the Mongolian Government Employment Office. He thanked the school for responding to the needs of the Mongolian market: producing skilled and disciplined workers.
On behalf of the parents, one of the mothers attested to and confirmed the many changes they continuously see and discover in their children's behaviour, and attribute these transformations to the educational system of Don Bosco.
After the ceremony, lunch was served to almost 300 people, after which all the graduates with the whole teaching and non-teaching staff went to Zaisang, the war memorial park, and Sukbaatar Square, where a large statue of Genghis Khan stands. There they held all the picture-taking.
