Argentina - Don Bosco Rawson

(ANS - Rawson) - Rawson is located on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean and is the capital of the province of Chubut. Low temperatures in winter mean that sometimes the electrical system collapses, because many people who do not have gas heating use electric heaters. On 28 May the Don Bosco Institute conducted its sixth charity event to collect blankets to be donated to needy families and neighbouring communities on the plateau of the province.

(ANS - Luanda) - The pacifist revolutionary, politician and Nobel Peace Prize-winner, Nelson Mandela, said on one occasion that "a winner is simply a dreamer who never gave up." The Damas Salesianas are just that, women who never give up. And now they are active in Africa, in Angola.

(ANS - Rome) - Opening the pages of the newspapers and seeing the plight of children around the world creates a sense of hopelessness. The news is depressing for those who care about the world of children. "The child population as a whole is the subject of serious violations: abduction, sexual violence, child marriages and forced recruitment." If we stop to think, a second thought comes immediately. What is happening? How can we tolerate such suffering? Indifference has globalized, said Pope Francis, becoming a "selfish attitude of indifference that has achieved a global dimension."

(ANS - Medellin) - At the official closing of the Extraordinary Visitation, Fr Timothy Ploch, Councillor for the Inter-America Region, attended a Provincial Assembly on the afternoon of 26 May.
