In preparation for the 100 years Celebration of the Past Pupils, we in turn wish to celebrate the 100 years of the Past Pupils here in the Philippines by an assembly. Details of the said activities are still to be discussed and plan.

The National Federation of the Past Pupils of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians together with the Don Bosco School Manila Educating Community Core Group sponsor a dinner concert for the Benefit of the of the students and volunteers of St. Ezekiel Moreno Dormitory (SEMD), in Macarascas, Palawan.

 The concert entitled, “Because We Care”, featured the talents of the Hail Mary the Queen Choir, our very own Don Bosco Banda Kawayan, the Vioce Club from Japan and our Filipino jazz singer CHARITO (www.charito.com). The concert was held last June 1, 2007.

 

The Past Pupils Federation went to Palawan for almost one week (April 18 to 24, 2007).

 

They forged a partnership with the SEMD (St. Ezekeil Moreno Dormitory) Palawan as it embarked on a volunteer work, fund raising (Miss Carito Concert – June 1), and other initiatives: honey fund raising and donation of school supplies, cloths, office materials and equipments, creation of the website, and of course . . . a lot of LOVE! The Past Pupils adopted this as their “mission land.”

 

 

This year’s annual retreat was last April 27 to 29, 2007 held in Don Bosco, Batulao with Miss Cory Villafania was the retreat facilitator.

 

The theme was “Lord teach us to pray”: Lectio Devina

This moment helps us to center once again our daily life in prayer, seeking to mature and integrate our life in Jesus.
