Gabutu: Don Bosco Technical School commenced its Servanthood and Leadership Training (S.A.L.T) orientation on Friday the 4th of May in Don Bosco Technical School Hall.
S.A.L.T is an annual program of the school designed for the graduating students to go out and give service to the community living a life of service as servant leaders. The program runs for three (3) consecutive Saturdays with a formation and an evaluation at the end.
The first Saturday was on the 4th of May as students gave Community Service in the School: Bosco Mountain and Dump area, to Primary School's: St. Therese Primary and Sevese Morea Primary School, a Clinic: St. Therese Clinic-Hohola, Cheshire Homes and the Parish of Mary Help of Christians Sabama. They continued their service on the 11th May.
The students were way ahead of time with their patron as they waited patiently for the tools to arrive. Their patron assigned them to different locations around the parish to do their service. From inside the church, the wiping of the chairs, the cutting down of grass at the back of the church, cleaning the flowerbeds to cleaning the drainage, digging the pit for disposal and patching the road for the community. It was an eye opener and a bizarre practice not observed in the community by youths.
More positive reactions from the community members as members affirmed the young men with words of appreciation. A father in the community even collected cash from the community to offer to the boys but was turned down by one of the students who was also living in the community.
