by Brother Jittin Mathew

MUMBAI, SEP 17, 2018: Twenty-two boys from Bosco Boys Home in Borivli made the most of their mid-term break by visiting Boscowadi, Uttan for a picnic from September 13 to 15.

This picnic was specially arranged with the help of benefactors for those boys in the orphanage who could not go home for various reasons. Staff members Matthew George, Dorando Camara, Meena Kini, and Deacon Romero D'Souza were in attendance.

The picnic included sight-seeing, a visitation to the Church of Our Lady of Sea and the Uttan beach. Besides enjoying themselves in the swimming pool, the boys had a special rosary service for their benefactors and the victims of Kerala floods. They then had an educative seminar on 'Go Green and Keep Clean.'

"The picnic was awesome. We thoroughly enjoyed it and want to come again soon and play volleyball in the swimming pool and adore the beautiful seashore of Boscowadi," Karan Vasana, a youth, said. 

"These children deserve to be happy and at the same be educated about the basic necessities of life. We thank the benefactors and the management for arranging this outing for the boys. This picnic brought renewed joy and vigour in the boys," George said.
