Pakistan – Peace Day for Salesians of Lahore and Quetta
Lahore, Pakistan - February 2021 - The Salesians of Don Bosco in Lahore and Quetta, with the collaboration of a group of lay people and the Salesian Cooperator Afzal Aftab, organized a "Day of Peace". Thirty-five participants - girls and boys, Muslims, Catholics and Christians of other denominations - shared their reflections on the possibility of a peaceful community, the difficulties faced in Pakistan to pursue peace and their role as young people to promote it. Participants were sensitized to create, build and sustain a peaceful society and shared their experience of peace and the difficulties encountered in developing their potential to achieve a better society. The event ended with the intervention of Fr Samuel Adnan, SDB, and the singing of the prayer for peace of St. Francis of Assisi.
