And perhaps the other thing that says it
all, completely in his own way, is from Fr Andrew Ting, the
current
Delegate for Mongolia which comes under Vietnam Province: "Much deeply joy we thanks to God
for the
years has passed and our Dear superiors, Benefactors, and
our dear
fathers, brothers had been worked and supporting for our
school and all
the teachers, staff of DB ITSC has been teaching and working
for the
day of student's graduation has come". The
message in his
invitation to the 13th Graduation for DBITSC is clearly one of
joy and
thanksgiving, and the 75 young men and women already know that
with
this graduation, and the school's already well-established
record of
post-grad employment, they have a better future ahead.
Founded in 2011 DBITSC is the only Catholic Technical
institute in
Mongolia. The graduating students in question have completed a

a half year course in their chosen area.
