CELEBRATING DON BOSCO WITH LOVE




The boys of Bosco Boys’ Home (BBH) in Borivali celebrated Don Bosco’s birthday with the love enshrined in the spirit of Don Bosco himself. Don Bosco was a Father, Teacher and Friend to the poor and abandoned boys and we here at BBH began the day with the tune of “All hail to Don Bosco”, with a solemn celebration of the Holy Eucharist after that breakfast and a prayer service for the technical institute.

In the afternoon we had the Hotel Management Batch preparing four variety of cakes (chocolate, tuti-fruti, pineapple and banana flavours) to distribute to all the students and staff to show their love and appreciation to the institute as well as to all the Salesians working in the house who represent Don Bosco to them by their presence of joy and optimism, their availability, their example of hard work and temperance and above all their life of prayer.

Then the boys got ready to go for their school. When they returned the boys were welcomed with music and masala tea…chai along with deep fried nallies to munch. “Run, Jump, Play but do not sin” was the motto for the evening which was joyously celebrated with a sumptuous supper and mouth-watering ice-cream. This was followed with an hour packed relays and tournaments after which we had the floor open for the children to dance to the music.

We concluded with Father Corlis the Rector of the house giving them a good night talk of how Don Bosco lived his life only for the poor and abandoned children and made them good and honest human beings.
