COMMUNITY SERVICE AT DON BOSCO

The Students Rebuild - Changemaker Challenge

The inspiration for this project is the Father of Our Nation, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and his famous quote “Be the Change you want to see in the world” . In this program students from all the classes made awards, trophies, medals etc. for anyone who they think is trying their best to bring change in their community. And all of these beautiful prizes can be also be made of recycled materials like: plastic bottles, cans, bottle caps, paper plates, old toys.

For every award sent online $ 5 (Rs. 365 approximately) will be donated to charities and this can give a poor person the help they need.

Here are some of the pictures of the awards made by our students. Changemaker pictures – Don Bosco School

So far, our school has raised $ 190 and the project is still continuing as many people need our help so you can still submit your awards until 3 June 2021. This is the live progress of our school donation and art work: Don Bosco School progress. We hope to raise at least $ 1000 so please create awards for someone who is making a change in your community and send the photos to your class teacher. You can make as many awards as you would like to.

The Angel Tree

Being an angel this Christmas

This program was started last year by Christine Ma’am and Father Chinnappa with the help of Class 9 students and this good deed was continued by the 10th and 9th students this year.

This year there were 2 trees placed in the school premises and many children donated gifts for the poor. These included stationery (pencils, crayons, sketch pens), personal needs (soap, toothbrushes, combs, slippers, water bottles), story and colouring books, notebooks and toys.

Then on the 24th of December all these gifts were donated to an ashram and we the Don Bosco School students helped make many people's Christmas a happy one.

This year the need to help was greater since many poor people were left on the roads and they didn't have food as there were no one to give them help.
