By Fr Cedrick Sankul for BISMumbai

On 20 June 2022, a prayer service was conducted by the teachers of Don Bosco School, Nashik, to mark the beginning of the scholastic year 2022–23.

The service began with the lighting of the lamp by the Rector, Fr Royal D’Abreo, the Principal, Fr Cedrick Sankul, the Administrator, Fr Roshan Gonsalves, and a student. After that, Fr D’Abreo put a garland around the statue of our patron, Don Bosco. After the prayer service, a skit on education being the right of every child based on the life of Dr Kailash Satyarthi was then enacted. A presentation on the work of the Nobel laureate Dr Kailash Satyarthi concerning the education of the poor and the street children was presented. It drew a comparison between him and the work of the Salesians.

Fr Sankul proposed the vote of thanks, and gave a meaningful message highlighting the importance of academics to all students.
