BIS #1439 JOWAHAR MOKHADA APOSTOLATE

Joseph Philip sdb NASHIK, JULY 8, 2009: The Secondary School Certificate (SSC) results for the state of Maharashtra were declared on the June 25, 2009. It was a moment of great satisfaction and joy for the brothers of Divyadaan since the Ashram schools of the Talukas of Jowahar and Mokhda frequented by them performed exceptionally well for the second consecutive year. The brothers of Divyadaan used to go to these schools every Sunday to teach English especially to the tenth standard students. The brothers would go to ten different schools in pairs and not only train the students in academics but also spoken English and personality development. The SSC results of the schools that the brothers have been going to are as follows:

Ase = 89% Chas = 95% Dabhosa = 97% Gonde = 100% Hirve = 86% Kodala = 97% Nehalaya = 87% Pulsunde = 92% Sakre = 77% Zap = 95%

The brothers now encouraged and confident of the hand of God with them have restarted this apostolate with full gusto and enthusiasm. The hard work of the past two years, coupled with the support of the school authorities will definitely ensure another successful year for these schools. The school authorities are very pleased with the results and have expressed their gratitude towards the brothers and the Don Bosco Development Office.
