(ANS - Lisbon) - In Europe with its national borders and nationalist claims there are some who take the first step spontaneously to meet refugees who have fled from war and poverty. This is the case in Portugal. Through its government agencies it has indicated its willingness to help the European countries most affected by migration by accepting migrants. The Salesian Family is part of the network of organizations involved in this work of humanitarian assistance.

(ANS - Bukavu) - The journalist D. Snow once called Congo "a country cursed by its wealth." "The Second Congo War, called 'the Great War of Africa', sucked in military and civilians from nine countries". In the town of Bukavu, on the shores of Lake Kivu, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Salesians have a professional school for street children and poor youth.

(ANS - Sana'a) - The Salesian Family continues to follow with great attention the situation of Father Tom Uzhunnalil, kidnapped in Aden on 4 March. But he is not the only one who is suffering in Yemen. It is a country that has been sorely tested for the past 16 months of war. It was a civil war at first. Then came the bombing of a Saudi-led coalition. The conflict is assuming frightening proportions and the most affected are, as usual, children: "Children are not safe anywhere in Yemen" said Julien Harneis, the Unicef ​​representative in the Arab country.
