The damages to roofings brought about by the Typhoon Odette at Don Bosco TVET Center Balamban has been all repaired by a special team of Batch 48 as part of their Institutional Projects. We thank them for sharing their talents and at the same time honed their skills in the construction sector.
Batch 48 and Project Coordinator Mr. William Lima finished another Institutional Project (IP) – the roofing of the Fabrication and Production Area of the Welding Shop. Through the Institutional Projects, the Students hone their skills in welding, laying out and assembly of welded parts and their installation.
With the roofing done, Don Bosco TVET Center Balamban will source out funds from the “Trade Tests” and knock on the generous hearts of friends and benefactors of Don Bosco Balamban for the flooring and walls of the fabrication/production area of the welding shop and most probably Batch 49 will finish the flooring and the walls of the IP.
The Alumni and Don Bosco Scholars finished another Institutional Project (IP) – the extension Kitchen for the Salesian Residence. The Institutional Projects are like legacy projects of Bosconians where -in they are able to hone their skills in the construction sector. Special thanks to Mr. William Lima, Ms. Cathyrine Nacua, Mr. Geram Maranga with the assistance of Mr. Robert Balalitan and other Alumni of Don Bosco TVET Center Balamban.

After the presentation Fr. Brian brought the Mondo representatives to a nearby Bamboo Nursery Partner, after which the students presented a dance number and the visit ended with a very delicious lunch.
