DAKOR, AUGUST 21, 2010: The feast of the Assumption was celebrated with great energy and gusto by the parishioners of Don Bosco Dakor. It was an overwhelming sight for each one of us to see that the boys from the morning were praying to our Blessed mother. A lot of preparation was done by the students and unfortunately the outpouring of the rain in heavy measure discouraged them all. In spite of all these the boarders with the help of the brother’s assistance prepared a new backdrop for the celebration early that morning.
The chief guest for the flag hoisting program was Mr Vagehela and he mentioned in his speech that besides the existing corruption in our country and number of vices we still love to stay in India because some where in the heart of the other there is love for someone. That makes life beautiful. The student performed a patriotic song and a speech given by the professor of Don Bosco P.T.C College. A number of programs had to be cancelled due to the heavy rain. At the end of the program the snacks were distributed to all the students. The Principal congratulated the students that in spite of the heavy rains they came for the program. This shows the love they have for their country. After which the parish had a Eucharistic celebration in which Fr Alex the main celebrant mentioned in his homily the vices in the country of India and how to fight against it.

The boys were all awaiting for the lightening tournament in which they took part with full enthusiasm and energy. In the afternoon the boys had the opportunity to grab away some prizes through the game of tombola of which the prizes were sponsored by Fr. Rector and Bro Assistants. The boys enjoyed the tombola game because the prizes were given to the boys who had the least number marked in the housie ticket. In the evening the boys were all decked up to perform for the cultural program organized by the brother assistants and Fr. Ignas, the prefect of studies. The cultural program had a number of varieties of programs like mono acting, garba, Gujarati mini musical and many others. At last the boys and girls prayed to our Blessed mother to help them in their studies and bless their family members at home. It was a nice experience for the boys to walk a month with our blessed mother and continue to do so with as she guides them and leads them closer to God.
The celebration ended the next day with celebration of Don Bosco’s birthday as Rectors day. We thank our Blessed Mother for her numerous blessing and her continuous love and concern. To put it rightly in the words of a host elite from Pushpanjali she said " Ever since I have entered the boarding I have seen here hand over me and guiding me not only that but also taking care of my family at home. Thank you dear Mother and we love you.
