Don Bosco exhibit at Ayala Malls
MANILA, Philippines - The Don Bosco Exhibit entitled “God’s Gift to the Young” opened last Aug. 1 at the TriNoma Ayala Mall, Level 4. The exhibit is part of the celebration of the 200th birth anniversary of St. John Bosco, founder of the Salesians of Don Bosco, who was born on Aug. 16, 1815 in Turin, Italy.
Highlights of the exhibit are the Top 20 Artworks of young people who joined the nationwide Don Bosco art contest early this year.
The top three are from Nagcarlan, Laguna; Rosario, Batangas; and Maburao, Occidental Mindoro. Inspired by the life of St. Bosco, who dedicated his whole life in uplifting the welfare of the poor young people of his time, the young artists expressed their admiration for this saint and their sense of hope and fulfillment in life using their God-given talents.
Aside from these artworks, exhibit boards presenting some basic information about St. John Bosco, the Salesians of Don Bosco and their works, and the Salesian Family, Word and Life Publications and Don Bosco Technical College, Mandaluyong City are also featured in the exhibit.
The ceremonial cutting of the ribbon was done by Rowena Tomeldan, COO of Ayala Land, Inc., Commercial Business Group.
