Trip to the jungle

Some of the younger teenage boys have been visiting the Fr. Ray Drop-In Centre for many months, and at long last they have agreed to take up our offers of help and return to education. This decision has not been an easy one for these boys as it is a long time since they have sat in a classroom.
Before going off, we took them for a few days in the countryside so that they could talk about any fears they may have and also remember that our staff are there for them when they need help. Out into the countryside they went. They cimbed moutains, came across beautiful waterfalls and fast running streams and they hunted for their own food in the water ponds. It was a good way to say farewell to their friends and get ready for a better life.
