Sant Boi de Llobregat, Spain - March 2023 - About 50 people gathered at the Salesian house in Sant Boi de Llobregat on March 29 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Salesian Social Education Platform. Educators, volunteers, directors, families, and friends of the Platform attended the event with the city's mayor, Lluïsa Moret, and other members of the municipality. The Social Platform facilities welcomed all present with a photo exhibit, featuring projected images and other items from the center's 25-year history. After visiting the exhibit, participants headed to the auditorium, where Fr. Joan Camps, SDB, titular director of the Salesian work in Sant Boi, Laura Fortes, current director of Social Platforms, and the city's mayor spoke. "For the Salesians, it is a [source of] pride to celebrate this anniversary: because it fundamentally expresses what is the core of our charism, being next to those who need it most," said Fr. Camps. For her part, the Mayor stressed her commitment to improving people's lives through the Social Platform.
