"Dream Your Dream" is a musical tribute to Don Bosco's transformative dream, which is celebrating its 200th anniversary, newly released by Salesian Cleric Martin Joshua Savio, a student of Visual Communication, belonging to the Salesian Province of Bangalore. The musical piece draws inspiration from a unique moment in Don Bosco's life —a profound dream he experienced at the age of nine. In this vision, the Blessed Virgin Mary instructed him to transform "wolves into lambs" through the power of love, a spiritual encounter that would shape his life's mission.

Don Bosco's initial work with disadvantaged youth on the streets of Turin, Italy, was just the beginning of a far-reaching legacy. Today, the Salesians of Don Bosco continue his work in over 135 countries worldwide. Their mission—to inspire young people to dream and provide the support needed to realize those dreams—stands as a testament to the global impact of Don Bosco's vision, inspiring a worldwide movement.

Conceptualized and coordinated by Fr. Jiji Kalavanal SDB of the Salesian Province of Bangalore, the project utilized cutting-edge AI tools in its production, showcasing the innovative and creative approach taken. The collaborative effort from a group of friends working remotely from various parts of the country further brought this vision to life, a testament to the power of technology and teamwork.
