Silver Jubilee Celebrations at Don Bosco Davangere

Don Bosco Davangere celebrated 25 years of its service to the poor and abandoned on November 25, 2022. “Don Bosco has created a milestone in the work of nurturing and building the future of child labours, school dropouts and orphans, this service of Don Bosco should be expanded further,” said the Chief Guest, Mr. C. B. Rishyanth, S.P., in his inaugural speech. He then also published the SOUVENIR of the House.

Fr. Jose Koyickal SDB, the Provincial, spoke highly about the work done in Davangere and about Fr. Kuriakose, who worked for the betterment of the children from the beginning of the institution, to not only give the children a shelter but also a future. These children, who are in higher positions now, remember Him as their Father, said Fr. Provincial.

Fr. Regi Jacob SDB, the Director of the House, spoke about the dream of Don Bosco, which was to serve the poor who are homeless. This small service begun by Don Bosco is spread across 132 countries today. Continuing the vision of Don Bosco, our organization works in a child-friendly manner, advocating child rights and striving to eliminate gender discrimination.

To add colour to the programme, the students of Suprabha, Sujoythi, Navajothi Nilaya and the Past Pupils of the centre organized a cultural programme during the occasion.
