Grow in Values, Grow in Humanity

On the 24th of July 2025, Don Bosco Youth Services animated value-based session for the Students of Holy Rosary HS Nuvem, Margao-Goa.

A total of 107 participated in a 2 hour 30 minute session organised by Fr. Austin Fernandes, sdb (Director of DBYS) and Luke Periera (Youth of Don Bosco Benaulim). The sessions comprised action songs, value-based games, activities and enriching sharing on the various topics.


The main emphasis were laid on a life based on good values. Values of respect, focusing on things, listening were given great importance. In the second part, place of God in our lives, respect for parents, school, teachers were explained in details. Use of phones and social media were explained with real world examples.



The enthusiasm of children and their frankness in sharing things was amazing. We pray and hope that they may grow in good values and grow in Humanity.


- Fr. Austin Fernandes sdb

The theme for this year, “Pilgrims of Hope: Marching towards the Promised Land,” captured the essence of the spiritual journey undertaken by each young person present.
