HSI AND BBH COLLABORATE TO TOUCH THE YOUNG LIVES

The Holy Spirit interactive, (HSI) Group belonging to IC Church, Borivali visited the Borivli-based Bosco Boys Home (BBH) orphanage on July 16. The purpose of the visit was to know about the life of the orphan children who lived in the home and how they were brought up with love and guided towards the right path by the Salesians living with them.

Holy Spirit Interactive (HSI) is a lay apostolate recognized as an Association of Faith and Outreach by Bishop Paul Hinder of the Apostolic Vicariate of Southern Arabia and supported by dozens of other Bishops around the world. Founded in January 2004 by Aneel Aranha, it is dedicated to strengthening the faith of Christians and spreading the Word of God around the world.

Through its various ministries and activities, HSI reaches several million people each year. This year the Borivali branch of HSI group members began their visit ay BBH by dividing their time spent with the boys in two half. The first half was used to interact with the children: to know them and to understand the situation they were living through. The second half was filled with games, dance and praise and worship songs, where the members involved the children to take part through the above mentioned activities.

One of the group members Janet D’Souza shared, “I would like to thank the Management and

Staff of Bosco Boys Home for giving us this lovely opportunity to be with these boys. It was a very enjoyable and fulfilling experience. I really was touched by the experiences shared by these boys and the way they are brought up here by the Salesians.”

Durgesh Raut, one of the boy of the orphanage said, “Thank you HSI Group for coming and visiting us. I really enjoyed spending time with all of you. God Bless and have a joyful day.”
