'Anbu' in the Sky: Children of Don Bosco Anbu Illam Takes Maiden Flight

News written by: Fr. Arockia Selvakumar SDB

"When you give wings to a child's dream, you not only change their day — you change their destiny." For 25 young boys from Don Bosco Anbu Illam, Coimbatore, March 26 was not just another day — the day their dream took flight with a maiden journey from Coimbatore to Chennai.

Thanks to the generous support of Round Table India, Ladies Circle India, and GEM Hospital, these children experienced their first-ever airplane journey, flying from Coimbatore to Chennai — an unforgettable adventure that combined excitement, learning, and inspiration.

The children, accompanied by three staff members, boarded the flight with eyes wide in wonder and hearts full of anticipation. For most, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity — a moment they had only imagined. The thrill of take-off, the view from above the clouds, and the feel of soaring in the sky filled them with awe and joy.

Upon arriving in Chennai, the group embarked on an enriching day of exploration. Their first stop was the B.M. Birla Planetarium at the Periyar Science and Technology Centre, where the mysteries of the universe came alive through interactive exhibits and captivating displays. The cosmos fascinated the children, igniting a newfound curiosity about science and space.

Next, the adventure continued at the VGP Marine Kingdom, one of the country's largest and most modern aquariums. Surrounded by colourful fish, exotic marine life, and underwater tunnels, the boys were immersed in a magical and educational world they had never seen before.

By evening, the group returned to Coimbatore, touching down with hearts full of gratitude and minds enriched by the day's experiences. The memories of this extraordinary journey will stay with them for years to come, inspiring them to dream bigger and believe in possibilities beyond their immediate world.

Don Bosco Anbu Illam tirelessly works for vulnerable children's care, protection, and empowerment and expresses heartfelt appreciation to the partners who made this journey possible. Their selfless support and commitment were a powerful reminder of what compassionate collaboration can achieve.
