On January 31, the Church honors the Memorial of St. John Bosco - Friend of the Youth. He was called, Apostle of Youth, because, he dedicated his life to the young people by organizing youth clubs, hostels, and boarding schools where he taught them. He founded the Salesian Society for the boys in 1854, which was named St. Francis de Sales. In 1872, he also founded the Salesian Sisters called Daughters of Mary, Help of Christians to work for girls.
St. John Bosco had no formal system or theory of education. His methods centered on persuasion, authentic religiosity, and love for young people. He was an enlightened educator and innovator. The educational philosophy of John Bosco can be condensed in three words: Reason, Religion, and Loving Kindness. The basic principle of his system was a deep understanding and love for young people and their problems.

Most hostels do a good job of cleaning bathroom after using on a very frequent basis.
