Message from our children
Words can't express or gratify the moments that have remained so inspiring in our lives while at Dogodogo Centre. It follows the tremendous formation we have been gaining in different spheres of life giving preference to all that is good under the full care of our master, and to all who taught us the ways of life and peace. In the meantime, all glory returns to Him who brought us to this unity of an extraordinary scheme of life change. We would not be enough in our returns but in the hope that is never deceptive, we shall live to offer an abundant eternity of thanks to God for what He has been to us while we remained open for this transformation. Our lives surely have unimaginably been so translating in the tests and signs of time. Long live Dogodogo. Rejoice Dogodogo for through you we have seen the face of God.
