by Jittin Matthew and Eustace Fernandes MUMBAI, SEP 7, 2018: Borivli-based Bosco Boys Home and the students of the Technical Institute honoured their teachers on the occasion of Teacher's Day through dance, music, mimicry and a skit on September 5.
During their morning study time, the residential boys from the Home exhibited their talent and showed their appreciation by preparing a Teachers Day card with a thank you message to stress on the role of their teachers.
At noon, 120 students of the Technical Institute took part in a cultural programme felicitating their teachers and management. The students had prepared a backdrop with a caption "Thank you, Teachers….We love you."
Father Corlis Gonsalves, the Rector of Bosco Boys Home and the Technical Institute, Borivli was the chief guest for the programme. William Sequeira, from the hospitality department, Meena, a counselor, and Datta Gade, from the social work sector, inaugurated the event.
The comperes began the programme with a prayer – thereafter explaining the key role of teachers in shaping the lives of students. They highlighted the importance of Teacher's day and its rich history. Then the students from the various departments of the Technical set-up, RAC, electrical, 4- wheeler, Yamaha, and hotel management entertained the audience with their performance. Sequeira regaled the crowd with an old Hindi medley.
In his vote of thanks, Gade stressed that "Teachers are the real shapers of the future and building blocks of the country. They shape the student life, who are ultimately the future of the country. Teachers are the nation-builders by building the future of citizens living in the country."
"Teaching is the most influential job in the world. Teachers are known to shape the mind of youth and without knowledge, no one can exist in this world. The teacher imparts good value in children and turns them into responsible citizens. So, almost every country celebrates Teacher's day," Samuel D'Souza, a student, said.
