Don Bosco Technical School

We’ve been here in Islam Pet for quite a while now. The building is right in Gopala Nagar, Ongole, so most folks around here know where to find us. It’s a busy place with students coming in every day to learn different trades. We have workshops for mechanical stuff and electrical work too. It’s not fancy or anything like that. We just focus on getting the tools in the kids' hands so they can actually learn how things work. Sometimes the machines are loud, but that’s just how it is in a technical school. Our instructors are locals mostly, people who have spent years working in shops themselves. They don’t talk much about theory; they’d rather show you how to fix a motor or wire a panel. The classrooms are basic, with benches and some old posters on the walls. We try to keep everything running smooth, even when the power acts up or we’re waiting on new supplies to arrive from town. It’s a practical place for people who want to get a job and help their families. We see a lot of young men and women passing through, some staying late to finish a project. It feels good when a student finally gets a tricky weld right or understands a circuit. We’re just part of the neighborhood here, trying to do our bit every day.
