DR Congo - Don Bosco Shasha refugee youth in Goma return to school at Don Bosco Ngangi
Goma, R.D. Congo - 11 April 2024 - Around 50 young people (girls and boys) from the Salesian schools in Shasha who had been displaced to Goma as a result of the war have been welcomed to Don Bosco Ngangi to continue their schooling. Since the beginning of the week, the Salesians of Don Bosco Shasha, led by Fr Kizito Tembo, the Rector, had set up places for accommodation, education, catering and other vital services within the Salesian presence in Ngangi, Goma. Since 11 April, the classrooms have welcomed young people in basic education, particularly those in the last years of primary school and orientation programme, and those in the last years of secondary school in agronomy. All their educators were present and were delighted that their parents agree to entrust their children to the supervision of the Salesians of Don Bosco, who have also been refugees in Goma since the beginning of this year. While waiting for other young people to join the first arrivals, they will continue their schooling in the boarding school set up by the Salesians. They will thus be able to prepare and take part in the national examinations in peace and quiet, which is not easy for these thousands of internally displaced persons currently experiencing great difficulties in the region. As soon as news of the resumption of the support system by Salesians for the young school children of Shasha reached, hundreds of children became the direct beneficiaries of this project "Don Bosco at school with the young internally displaced persons".
