Japan - Don Bosco Volunteer Group activities restart

Tokyo, Japan - 16 to 18 September 2022 - DBVG has done volunteer in Chofu, Tokyo. DBVG (Don Bosco Volunteer Group) is a group of young people who have been volunteering abroad and in domestic Japan. Since the beginning of DBVG in 1991 started by late Most Rev. Bishop Mizobe Osamu, sdb. The DBVG has been inactive for the past several years due to the spread of the Covid-19 infection around the world, but after the listening of opinions of young people especially old members of DBVG in mid-August. We decided to do domestic volunteer activities in this summer and autumn seasons.

According to the hope of word of "surviving today by believing in tomorrow," We immediately re-started the DBVG, we have welcomed eight new young people between 18 to 27 years of age and this DBVG has been accompanied by Fr. Takei, sdb and Bro. Nao, sdb as leaders and staff. So we can feel the Family spirit which is a key characteristic of our Salesian Charism. Where everyone feels at home, receives respect, is jointly responsible for the common DBVG’s mission. With mutual evident trust.

The theme “Do all through love, nothing through constraint” has been taken after 2022 Strenna by the Rector Major. 16 to 18, September. Our first activity was a domestic volunteer work: first day, we cleaned the garden of the Salesian Sisters convent, and following day we fixed all the windows of the Don Bosco Hall in Salesian seminary. The program of DBVG always offers the young people many chances to serve and make them know how to be and to live for others.
