Be proud and never let go of the good values that have been instilled in you wherever you go was the sound advice, from His Excellency the President Ratu Epeli Nailatikau, to graduates of Monfort Boys Town.
Ratu Epeli was chief guest at the ceremony in Veisari outside Suva, which saw 52 young men graduate with certificates in building, cabinet making and mechanical and electrical engineering.
“Keep the words and good values instilled by your teachers close to your chests,” Ratu Epeli said.
“Do not let them down, especially your family who have persevered during your time here.”
“You are about to enter the outside world where you will fend for yourself, there are many that depend on you,” Rat Epeli said.
The 52 young men that graduated have completed two years of training at the institute.
School principal Brother George Palakal said Monfort was always happy to nurture young men to be better and caring citizens.
