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.
