UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
(MissionNewswire) Students with the Red Cross Club at Don Bosco Tech in Rosemead, California, organized a campaign to gather essential items for veterans in need. Thanks to the generosity of students, parents and school staff, over 2,100 essential items and other comfort items were collected.
After taking their school exams, a group of volunteers from the club loaded the packages into cars and delivered them to the Red Cross headquarters in Arcadia.
Victoria Phung, head of youth programs at the Red Cross, thanked the school for its valuable annual contribution. She said, “We are fortunate to have Don Bosco Tech to count on. These young people are among our best allies in helping our veterans.”
Don Bosco students around the globe frequently give back to their communities and other communities in need. Working in more than 130 countries, Salesian missionaries have created a vast network of primary, secondary, vocational and technical schools serving youth who are poor or disadvantaged. With a focus on education and workforce development, Salesians worldwide provide youth valuable resources to aid them in finding livable wage employment.
Don Bosco Tech in Rosemead combines a rigorous college preparatory program with technology focused education. The innovative science, engineering, technology and math curriculum allows students to exceed university admission requirements while completing extensive integrated coursework in one of several applied science and engineering fields.
