Gambella, Ethiopia - December 2022 - As Ethiopia celebrates the 17th Nations, Nationalities, and People's Day in Sidama Region, Hawassa, a similar celebration was held also in Don Bosco Catholic School in the Gambella region.  The day was celebrated across the nation under the theme “National Unity for Sustainable Peace”.

The celebration saw the wide participation of all the staff and students of Don Bosco School Gambella.  Hundreds of students dressed up in the diverse cultural costumes of the country were indeed a welcome sight for all the spectators. "The day's celebration is important to create a common understanding among nations and nationalities as well as promote and appreciate their cultures, traditions, and values," said Fr. Lijo Vadakkan SDB, Rector of Don Bosco Gambella, in his opening speech.  Several competitions were held between the students like the Quiz program, fashion show, poem and speech competition, etc. Prizes were distributed to the winners by Mons.
