Annual ''Youth at Risk Day'' Celebrations at Hyderabad Hyderabad, Dec. 9. The annual Young at Risk (YaR) day celebrations for the Telugu speaking states of Andhra and Telangana were held at Don Bosco Navajeevan, Ramanthapur on December 05-06, 2015. Children from eight Salesian centres along with staff and volunteers - totally 400 people participated in this event. All activities of the two days were centered on the themes 'Family is my right' and 'No bullying'. Taking the annual celebrations to a higher level, the hosting community planned for a day of animation followed by a day of outdoor activity rather than hosting only a sporting event.
The programme began on Dec. 5, at 09.30 am with the registration and a prayerful inauguration. Father Swarna Bernard, Vicar General of the Hyderabad archdiocese was the Chief Guest and Ms Chandana, representative from 'Save the Children' organization was the Guest of Honour. Father Sudhakar Bellamkonda as Coordinator of the Youth at Risk Commission of the Salesian Province of Hyderabad and Director of the hosting community welcomed all the children, directors, staff and volunteers from the different YaR centres - Hyderabad, Auxilium Navajeevana, Vijayawada, Vizag, Rajahmundry, Ongole, Warangal and Kurnool. He wished that the two days would be a sharing of experiences, making new friends and a wonderful growing experience for all.
