The activities in the pictures below show our children engaging in their daily chores. In addition to school and fun, they have to help out like in any other family. In the laundry room, which we equipped with your support, they wash clothes for all 250 children every day.
The buildings, which house different age groups, are scattered over a large area. Don Bosco Boy is for the oldest boys while House of Mercy is for the oldest girls. St. Martin’s House is home to children in elementary school while St. Edmund’s House and St. Bakhita house toddlers. Newborns live in a separate wing of the main house.
The older children are responsible for making sure their rooms and common spaces are kept tidy. It’s truly remarkable how smoothly everything runs, especially considering the size of the family. The children have enough time for everything – studying, chores, fun, and developing friendships.
A school kit includes notebooks, allowing children to study at home. It also includes a pair of shoes, which, if not for Kasisi, they would have to borrow from their siblings. And finally, a delicious, healthy sandwich in the backpack, which gives them the energy they need for their studies. Just like the sandwich their mother would prepare. You can pack one into their backpack today—from right here, from your own home.
