Don Bosco Vocational Training Centre – Palabek
On January 31, on the feast day of Don Bosco, the Salesian Province of Africa Great Lakes (AGL) inaugurated a Center for Vocational Training (VCT) in the refugee camp of Palabek, in the north of Uganda, where a Salesian community lives permanently among refugees, assisting them daily.
The camp is home to refugees fleeing civil war and violence in South Sudan. There are currently over 34,000, mostly young people. It was a day of great joy for the young refugees, because this (VCT) will facilitate their autonomy and their social integration.
