BOSCONET

BoscoNet adalah organisasi sekuler yang berupaya mencapai tujuan memberdayakan kaum muda

The organisation, its mission and methodology are inspired by Don Bosco. He was himself orphaned at the tender age of two and he dedicated his entire adult life to the service of children and young people, particularly the poorest among them. A few admirers and followers of this ‘Father of the Young’ – Salesians, alumni and well-wishers – have come together to form this organisation to carry forward thte vision and mission of Don Bosco.

India, and the whole of South Asia, is passing today through a stage of development very similar to what took place in Italy in the days of our model and guide: rapid industrialisation resulting in a massive movement of uneducated young people to the towns in search of work who are exploited by entrepreneurs; displacement of people in the rural areas as land is acquired for new enterprises; large numbers of illiterate children engaged in earning a livelihood for their families instead of attending school; the rich getting richer and the poor neglected and ignored.
