We are overjoyed to announce that our Continued Education Center in Salem has been honoured for its incredible work in supporting dropout children! On September 8th, 2024, during the Best Teachers Award Ceremony at Tamil Sangam Hall, our dedicated educator Mr. M. Rousseau, M.Sc., B. Ed., received the prestigious “Best Teacher Award” for his significant contributions to our free coaching program. In our regions, many children aged 13-18 face high dropout rates and are often forced to work in hazardous environments, depriving them of their future. But at Don Bosco Anbu Illam (DBAI), Salem, we are creating change!

Our Dropout Centres in Salem and Vennandur have offered free education and vital support to help over 2000 students in the past to prepare for their 8th, 10th, 11th, and 12th standard exams, combating early child marriage, teen pregnancy, and child labour.

Thanks to Dr. APJ. Abdul Kalam Trust, Salem and 7th Sense Trust, Salem for recognizing our efforts, and a heartfelt shoutout to all our supporters and volunteers!
