The session was organized by Fr. Jean-Pierre Muhima, SDB, Rector of the Salesian Community in Ngangi, under the guidance of Fr.

About 20 social workers and psychologists explored the principles of reception, accompaniment, reintegration, or reunification. Their skills were strengthened especially on the criteria, tools, and stages of reintegration or family reunification. Fr.
