Panama City, Panama - August 2023 - From 29 to 31 August, the Don Bosco Technical Institute (ITDB), hosted the meeting of economers, administrators, national accountants, delegates of the National Planning and Development Offices and legal representatives for Salesian works in the Divine Salvador Province of Central America (CAM). The motto of this event was 'Economic Management for Mission: Keys for the New Six/Year Period'. A total of 55 representatives from Salesian houses in Central America met to exchange knowledge and experiences. Fr Julio Navarro, CAM Provincial, welcomed them and emphasised the importance of strengthening teamwork to create strategies to ensure the sustainability of works at the local and provincial levels. During their stay, the visitors took a tour led by ITDB students to learn about the state-of-the-art facilities and modern technologies that make the school the best technical education option in the region. On the second day, the participants went to the Don Bosco Basilica, where Marcelina Lee, from the N&N Family Office, spoke about 'Strategic Alliances as an Engine for Sustainability'. She used the Don Bosco Technical Institute's innovation and transformation project as an example, highlighting the fundamental role of benefactors in its success. To round off the day at the basilica, they were able to visit the "Valdocco of America", learn about the history of its construction, visit Don Bosco's relic, the museum and the replica of the house where the saint lived during his life in Turin, Italy. On the third day, Fr Edward De La O Castellón, Economer of the CAM Province, presented the Province's financial report, as well as the presentation of conclusions by the participants.
