"Yufela boys smart tumas"
HENDERSON: 18 May 2014 -- The Machinist Fitting & Maintenance (MFM) students, as part of their term project, made drum ovens for the families that were staying in the School's multi-purpose Hall for three weeks in April.  On Thursday, 15th May, they distributed 6 ovens to the Ngalibiu families. This weekend they have distributed ovens to other families at Foxwood (12 families), Popoliu (2 families) and Tumorora (3 families).

These free gifts to the affected families were made possible through the generous support of the Salesian Missions - Australia.  Br. Michael Lynch SDB, Director of Salesian Missions said, "I must commend DBTI for involving the students to prepare household materials as relief assistance."

Mrs. Margaret Borubae of Ngalibiu complimented the students saying, "Yufela boys smart tumas for makim drum oven olsem dis one.  Mifela tenkim yu tumas".  Mr. Luke Houpere, MFM instructor and Deputy Principal was very pleased when he said "after only 3 months in school, two students could make an oven using two and half drums, within 3 weeks.  They had picked up well the safety measures as well as skills in welding, cutting, grinding, polishing and painting".

Willie Laumanu, one of the proud students said, "while learning, we could make something useful for a needy family. I feel very happy".

Other students are engaged in preparing other gifts of tables, chairs, garden diggers and open fire potholders.
