The Salesian Province of Mumbai celebrated the birthday of Don Bosco on August 16 by launching DB-ACE – Don Bosco Advanced Computer Education – at Don Bosco Academy, Nerul, Navi Mumbai. This year – 2024 – marks a momentous occasion, the bicentenary of Don Bosco’s mission mandate dream, which he had at nine. This visionary dream imagined a world where marginalized youth would have equal opportunities and be equipped with the skills needed to compete alongside their more privileged peers. Don Bosco’s dream was rooted in the belief that economic barriers should never prevent the expression of talent, skill, and God-given intelligence.
