Huancayo, Peru - 1924 - This is one of the first photographs in the history of the Salesian St Rose Institute in Huancayo. You can see the first Rector of the Institute, Fr Camilo Cevallos, together with Blessed José Lasaga (who would die twelve years later during the Spanish Civil War) and a third Salesian. With them are also some catechism students.

Mohernando, Spain – 1981 –There were about 400 young people who took part in the Campo-Bosco-100 in 1981, which was held in Mohernando (Guadalajara) and brought together the youth from the Salesian Provinces in Spain. During those days, the participants had the opportunity to reflect on Don Bosco and the evangelisation of the young. From the Camp-Bosco-100 originated what is known today in Spain as the National Campobosco.
