""I chose to come to Don Bosco Renewal Centre, Bangalore, for my sabbatical from September 2005 to February 2006. After having spent six months here, I'm sure of having made the right choice at the right time, since I've enjoyed the courses I've been able to follow, and in DBRC I've met the right people with whom to share my personal experiences. Here, too, I've had an extraordinary opportunity to prepare myself to face the challenges I'll come across in the years ahead. Now I'm fully convinced that I could not have made a better choice."

A Senior Salesian from Barcelona, Spain

"It was very enriching for me as I am going to discern my vocation and going to live in communities. I came to know what community life is and how sharing is a very important element in community life."
