Mr. Richard in his short and sweet golden words had words of admiration, appreciation and gratitude towards the teachers, students and parents. Being a Salesian past pupil of Liluah himself together with his 3 other brothers, he said this celebration was his second home coming into a Salesian family. He assured the parents that being in a Salesian family they were in very safe hands and especially the children who would be ably guided to a bright future. He wished us all the best, that we too would grow in number like the Salesian family is used to and for a good education too.
