East Boroko, PNG, July 3 - Don Bosco Technological Institute, East Boroko was privileged and honored to be visited by His Royal Highness, The Duke of York Prince Andrew, KG on the 3rd of July, 2015.

The visit culminated in the unveiling of the commemorative plaque in the quadrangle.


Prince Andrew interacted with students during their practical work in the Electrical, Computer, Motor and Machine Fitting workshops. He was delighted to speak to them about their work. At the short felicitation program, Fr. Peter on behalf of DBTI, thanked his Royal Highness for his visit and presented him a book and a plaque about the St. John Bosco, the founder of the Salesians of Don Bosco. His Royal Highness graciously accepted them and in turn expressed his gratitude.

The Technical Education you receive here, will give you knowledge and skills to contribute towards a prosperous economy. I wish you success in your student life” said Prince Andrew.
