By Ms. Arlene Abital

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.


Prince Andrew was welcomed by Fr. Peter Baquero SDB PNG-SI Delegate, Fr. Louie Castaneda SDB, Rector, Fr. Ariel Macatangay SDB, Principal and the whole Educative Pastoral Community of Don Bosco Technical Institute, Boroko, Papua New Guinea. Minister for Sports and Moresby South MP Hon.

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.


In his speech he stressed the importance of Technical Education relating it to his own life experience in the Royal Navy. “I am privileged to see the outstanding job that you students are doing here at Don Bosco. 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. He then unveiled the commemorative plaque while the entire student body applauded enthusiastically.
