Cl. Justus Mendis
DAKOR, AUGUST 27, 2011: Don Bosco High School Dakor organized a Journalism seminar for its std X students on August 24 -25, 2011. This project is mainly of Bishop Fr. Thomas Macwan, who wants all the Christian schools of the Ahmedabad Diocese to have a session on Journalism organized in their own schools.

Mr. Hasmukh Vaghela, was the resource person for this seminar. Mr. Vaghela, works for ‘Rishta’ an organization run by the Jesuits which has its dimensions mainly in the media field. Mr. Vaghela with a lot of experience helped our young students by making them aware of the pros and cons of the media. The students showed keen interest in his session on writing articles to the newspapers and the various editors. Their interest grew when they got to know that journalism can be taken as a special subject in making a career. They got the practice of writing articles, evaluating them and the information about agencies who feed the news in the newspapers.

The children were enlightened by this seminar and have assured the Principal and Mr. Vaghela of their precious contribution to their local newspapers.
