(ANS - Gumbo) - Gunshots interrupted the childhood of hundreds of innocent and defenseless children. They remember the screams, the chaos, and the flight to an unknown destination. After 10 years, they still cannot return home. They live in a refugee camp in Gumbo. The young people talk about the civil wars in South Sudan, daily life in the camp, the school, and their dreams... The Salesians, who have always been committed to being the voice of the voiceless, made the documentary entitled "Interrupted Meal" to make their stories known, those of the refugee families and the work of the Salesians in Gumbo.

(ANS - Vienna) - The European Union's Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA) has released the full report of a survey on the experiences and situation of Ukrainian refugees who have found refuge in Europe. The survey collected voices and stories of some 14,685 people - mostly examining several areas: the journey from Ukraine and arrival abroad, legal aspects of being received in host countries, housing, education, employment, access to social services, health, and traumatic experiences. The rapid activation, for the first time in history, of the "Temporary Protection Directive" by the European Union has been a great help. However, practical difficulties remain.

(ANS - Goma) - Throughout the northeast of the Democratic Republic of Congo, clashes continue and thousands of people are suffering from the fear of war and the absence of resources. The Salesians present in that region are active across the board to bring relief to the pressing needs of so many people: thanks also to the collaboration of Salesian NGOs such as the International Volunteer for Development (VIS) or Salesian Missions Offices such as "Salesian Missions" in New Rochelle, in the United States, they are taking care of the internally displaced people present in the Kanyaruchinya camp and in front of the Salesian works in Goma and Shasha.

(ANS - Goma) - Thousands of displaced people in eastern Congo are still in need of assistance. The situation remains critical, especially around Goma, the capital of North Kivu Province. To seek safety, thousands more displaced people have settled on the grounds of the Salesian work "Don Bosco Shasha." The Salesians are doing their best for them, but they themselves need help.

(ANS - Kinshasa) - A few days have passed since Pope Francis' visit to the Democratic Republic of Congo, a trip that has renewed the Congolese Church and society by strengthening it in its desire for peace and progress. But the challenges to overcome are still all on the ground, especially in North Kivu Province, where, caught between war and violence, there are still thousands of people displaced and in need of everything, people to whom the Salesians are trying, with the means at their disposal, to provide answers and support.

(ANS - Vienna) - As part of the AMOS educational initiative, the Salesian refugee reception center "Don Bosco Sozialwerk" in Vienna has launched an initiative to offer German courses to Ukrainian refugee mothers together with their children. The offer is particularly aimed at Ukrainian mothers with children under the age of five who do not have adequate childcare places. The German course is free of charge for the participants.
