At the outset we thank the Almighty for blessing us with this project. We are grateful to Jugend Dritt Welt, Bonn, Germany who had negotiated on behalf of our province with German Ministry. They have taken lot of trouble and concern to get this project sanctioned to us. It took 3 long years of discussion for approval. I thank Bro. John Paul Muller Mission Procurator JDW, Bonn, Germany, Mr. Hans-Jurgen Dorrich, Managing Director JDW, Bonn, Germany Ms. Silvia Cromm, Head of Project Department, JDW, Bonn Germany, Mr. Roland Strux, Project Manager, JDW, Bonn, Germany and Ms. Claudia Moll, Project Manager, JDW, Bonn, Germany who have made this project a reality for our province.

Since new staff has been recruited he explained in detail about the activities of Don Bosco Institutions worldwide, in our country and particularly in Andhra Pradesh for different segments of the society. He said that we have gathered in a historical place which was the first institution in Andhra Pradesh in way back 1964, St. Michael`s Boys` Home, Guntur. Fr.

Our aim is to bring the dream of Don Bosco come true in our region through our tireless efforts.
