                              In preparation  for holidays at home

The boys of Don Bosco CALM have found it worthy for them to go and pay visit to their family members during this long holidays .After being helped and opened their minds by the Salesian working in Don Bosco CALM Namugongo they found it necessary to go and visit their family members and also look for their parents if at all they are still there even those who have no family members have also asked to be taken somewhere else where they can spend their holidays. They said that this system of allowing them go home for holidays will help them grow and discover the society and the world outside don Bosco CALM .They added that the issue of allowing them  to go home helps them to forget the past histories of their lives at least it comforts them and also to fit in the society .So far those who have finished their National exams have started moving to their different homes to see where their ancestors are .Some of them didn’t have in mind that they also have family members and  its really touching for a child to grow up in such a situation Bambi
