Settling Down in Sutgatti
The boarders of Don Bosco Academy, Sutgatti, began arriving
on 27th May 2016. School began on the 28th but deadlines
don’t seem to be worth much here as day-scholars and boarders continue to make
entries days after school has begun. The period of settling down seems to be
extending indefinitely. Every time a point of stability is approached somebody
new enters and resets the whole process of settlement. This I’m told is not
surprising or new, in fact, it is the acceptable modus operandi. To me it’s downright strange and the prolonged time
for settling down is ensuring I remain unsettled.
Nevertheless, those who have arrived are being helped to
feel at home by the staff, community and companions. Night games were held to
ensure the boarders mix around and have some fun together. The IPL final was
screened and some party songs and hymns were taught to lighten the mood and
fill the emptiness till school begins full swing.
