The purpose is to train young boys and girls (16 - 24 years old) from poor or disadvantage communities, children of farmers and workers and children out of the normal process of education in technical skills in order to have a job, help their families and contribute to the development of their country. It is also considered a national and international non-governamental organization (NGO). It has three technical schools for girls run by the sisters (Tuol Kok and Tekla in Phnom Penh and one in Battambang), two technical schools for boys in Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville, a Children Home for boys and girls coming from the situation of abuse or trafficking in Poipet, two literacy children for boys and girls that have been working in the brick factories of Battambang and the Children Fund to support boys or gilrs who have abandoned schooling.

Fire destroys Don Bosco Sihanoukville Radio and TV studios
SIHANOUKVILLE - austraLasia: 9th May 2009 -- A severe thunderstorm struck Sihanoukville early this morning 9th May and a direct lightening strike set fire to the radio and TV studio section of Don Bosco Technical School . The fire was immediately noticed by the 100 boarders sleeping near the campus but all efforts, including those of the local fire brigade , were to no avail. The studios were completely destroyed. Fortunately other buildings in the immediate vicinity did not catch fire. According to Fr John Visser, Rector, the damage will amount to tens of thousands of dollars taking into account the loss of building and equipment. No persons were injured.
The Radio and TV studios were the most recent addition to the social communications sector of the school, equipment having been donated by benefactors from the Netherlands. They were opened only in February of this year. Fortunately, and perhaps partly due to the soundproof protection of the rooms themselves, the fire was contained within the two studios; other sections of the communications department in the school were not affected.
Fr Albeiro Rodas, the vice rector and coordinator of the communications project expressed relief that nobody was hurt, and immediately appealed to people to help in the reconstruction of what has been lost. "We want the studios to become a centre of production for education and development in the country", he said. More info in donboscosihanoukville.org
