Fr Joseph Czerwiński, SDB, the Rector of the Salesian Community in Nikhotakota, says, "We made use of the space between two buildings to put a roof and a concrete floor, so we gained a new room. Now the rooms have been refurbished and the students have returned to indoor classes which is great to see! I thank all who helped to restore the damaged buildings. I thank the benefactors of Poland who have made it possible for these young people to have classes in proper conditions."
During the Eucharistic celebration for the opening of the new school year 2016-2017, students, teachers and the whole Salesian community prayed for their benefactors. The students themselves prepared the prayer of the faithful.
Over the past 20 years the Salesian school in Nikhotakota has tripled the number of students, which now stands at 2700.
