Moving to DBTC

On Tuesday of this week Steph and I left the Salesian Provincial House and moved to the Don Dosco Technology Centre (DBTC). This is where we will be living and working for the rest of our stay here in Cebu.

The Technology Centre is comprised of four part.

An Elementary (read Primary) School,
A High School,
A College – running higher level courses for over 16s
A Vocational Training Centre – running skills based course for over 16s

Most of the students live in the local area and come daily but there are about 65 boarders who come from the villages and town in more remote parts of Cebu Island.

Our principal work will be helping the Vocational Training Centre Students with their English and Maths Lessons.

For the moment we are just settling in so there isn't too much to say, here are some photos which show you what the place looks like.
