BIS #2007 REGIONAL COUNCILLOR'S VISIT

Mrs Neelam Rodrigues
BORIVILI, AUGUST 30, 2010: The dawn of Saturday morning brought along with it an extra- ordinary visitor in the form of Rev. Fr. Maria Arokiam sdb, the Regional Councillor for South Asia.
Unfortunately, it being a Saturday, our boys missed an opportunity of meeting him. However, the principal along with the teachers conveyed their wishes to him. In a formal meeting with the teachers, Fr. Arokiam addressed various issues pertaining to education in India and the world at large. He emphasized on the fact that as Salesians, we need to work towards “INCLUDING THE EXCLUDED”. As educators, our work should mainly try to narrow the gap between the ‘have-gots and the have-nots.’
Though, as teachers, we give the best time of our lives in sharing the knowledge, but at the end of it we need to ask ourselves, “Are we achieving the goal of education?”
