had the honour of participating in the Feast of Saint John Bosco and the Certificate Awarding Ceremony held at the Don Bosco Institute, Murunkan—an occasion that reflected the strong values of education, faith, and community.
The ceremony was graced by the participation of His Lordship Most Rev. Dr. Antonypillai Gnanapragasam, Bishop of Mannar, along with the clergy, religious fathers and sisters, educators, parents, and invited guests. Their presence added dignity and significance to an event that marked an important milestone in the lives of many young students.
The awarding of NVQ certificates in Computer Studies, Electrical Studies, and English symbolised the successful completion of a meaningful phase of learning. These qualifications represent not only academic achievement, but also the readiness of students to move forward with practical skills, confidence, and responsibility.
Celebrating this occasion on the Feast of Saint John Bosco was especially fitting. His lifelong commitment to guiding and uplifting young people through education and values continues to inspire institutions such as Don Bosco, which play a vital role in shaping the future of our youth.
I sincerely wish all the students who received their certificates continued success in their future endeavours. May the knowledge and skills they have gained lead them towards fulfilling careers, personal growth, and a life guided by strong values and faith.
My appreciation goes to the Don Bosco Institute, Murunkan, and everyone involved in organising this meaningful event, for their continued dedication to empowering the next generation.
