(ANS- Freetown)After his visit to the prison he came to the residence of the Salesian at Don Bosco Fambul to have a chat and lunch with the street boys, children that survive from Ebola and the girls that are rape and suffer domestic violence and the boys at the group home. The compound of the Salesian was filled with youngsters who are waiting to welcome the 10th successor of Don Bosco. As he entered a song was raised saying that Don Bosco will shine today… when the sun goes up, when the sun goes down Don Bosco will always shine.

The Rector Major further stated that the testimony of Suntia (one of the girls in the Girl’s Shelter) who shared with us how her father abused her sexually and denied her education, did not make her to stop going to school or to loss the sense of education.
The wish of the Rector Major to the youngster is that they will be able to use this opportunity that is given to them by the Salesians in other for them to prepare themselves for the future of their life. He told the youngsters that one thing he can promise them is that Don Bosco will always be close to them and accompanied them in life.
