Cameroon - March 2022 - On March 14, the Rector Major, Fr Ángel Fernández Artime, began the Animation Visit to the Salesians of Cameroon, during which he met the confreres of all the works, the members of the Salesian Family and received the perpetual vows of several Sons of Don Bosco. Then, from March 17-23, he presided over the spiritual exercises for the Provincials and Provincial Councils of the Africa-Madagascar Region.

While the bombing of Ukrainian cities continues and the wait for a new ceasefire to evacuate civilians grows, the Salesian world continues its unceasing mobilization in support of the Ukrainian population. In the new photographs, taken by Fr Michał Wocial and Fr Roman Sikon, it is documented how Salesians, young people and volunteers are constantly engaged in the distribution of aid and in welcoming so many people fleeing the war. Malta, meanwhile, is also mobilizing for donations, and thanks to the joint work of the Salesians with prominent figures and institutions, medical supplies destined for the Ukraine have left the island in recent days.

The number of refugees from Ukraine is growing day by day. According to the UN, 368,000 people have already left the country in search of safety. In this dramatic situation, the Salesians Fr Roman Sikon and Fr Andrej Król have been documenting - with numerous and significant photographs - the efforts of the Ukrainian people, including women, the elderly and children, to reach neighboring countries to escape the war.
