Krakow, Poland – May 2022 – The 22nd edition of Orawa for the Children of Africa was held on 28 May, at the initiative of the Salesian Młodzi Światu Missionary Volunteer Movement (SWM) in Krakow, in the Salesian Province of Krakow (PLS), and in collaboration with the municipalities of Jabłonka and Lipnica Wielka. It was linked, as always, to a charitable purpose. The volunteers, accompanied by Salesian priests, went to the 12 parishes in Orawa and, during the Masses, offered their testimonies, asking for support for street children in Sierra Leone, and precisely for the girls who were involved in prostitution, and also for homeless boys. All of them have found a safe home with the Salesians, which brings a new life for them. And this year's initiative aims to support their education and also the construction of a chapel at the Don Bosco Fambul work in Sierra Leone. A special guest of this edition was Fr Siergiej Ghoman, SDB, who works in Sierra Leone.
