If you trust Jesus you can be sure that your road is correct. We are a volunteers of the Salesian Voluntary Movement of Don Bosco. Our arrival to Calm was preceded a year of preparations for the trip to the Salesian Mission Centre of Warsaw. It was a time of spiritual discernment and his vocation. Time devoted to prayer, establishing relationships with other people, meetings with missionaries and volunteers returning from the missions. With a backpack full of uncertainty we started our trip to Africa which was interesting to go where we have never been. So it was nice experience to board the plane to Uganda. It was wonderful trip and the welcome at the airport and the Calm was warm and joyful, meeting difference people, the weather, food. Most we had our first mass at Calm Don Bosco was amazing on which dominated the African drums and beautiful voices pupils Calm. St. Augustine said that: „Who sings well prays twice”. We felt these few words are true. First two weeks which we spent with boys were beautiful, devoted to preparation for Christmas. We hope that it will be a very special time for all of us.

The Sharing Hand of New Rochelle

In the due course of this year (2013), the Salesians Community of Don Bosco-C.A.L.M (Children and Life Mission) Kira- Mulawa- Namugongo, was blessed with a huge gift from the New Rochelle. Through its sharing hand all over the world, the World Vision surprised the Don Bosco CALM Community with a fully packed container that contained different items. It was such a huge and long container that left part of the Don Bosco CALM Community main entrance and the road down blocked for users. However, the container still found its way inside the community and the items that were packed in different sized boxes were unloaded from it by around 140 boys since the rest were still at school. The boys were guided by the Reverend Fathers, Uncles, Brothers and Aunties. It took the boys almost 2 hours to complete the unloading process and arranging the boxes in the store. Among the items in the boxes, they included; T-shirts of several colors and sizes, jackets, jeans, shorts, women and men belts, ladies’ shoes, necklaces, bags, watches, earrings, bangles, Toms shoes, jumpers, sweaters, jerseys, to mention but a few.

But as it is a culture in all the Salesian Houses, a slogan “In Don Bosco we share,” could not go unnoticed. Therefore, the items were later divided such that even the Salesian Communities of Bombo-Namaliga in Luweero District and Kamuli in Kamuli District respectively could also have a share of this great gift from the New Rochelle
