Warsaw, Poland - June 2017 - On 10 June, representatives of the Salesian Sports Organization of the Polish Republic (SALOS RP) met with the President of Poland, Andrzej Duda. The meeting was held for the 25th anniversary of SALOS RP, which promotes sports for children and young people based on Christian and Salesian principles. President Duda said, among other things: "For many years I played football in the sports center of SALOS RP in Krakow... I was impressed by the conditions that were created which allowed for young people to achieve their best from a sports point of view .... For these activities, I would like to thank you with all my heart, because it is very important, because it constitutes what is really a fine continuation of an idea for which Don Bosco sacrificed his life and pastoral activity." President Duda also awarded 13 people with national awards: 7 Salesians, 2 Daughters of Mary Help of Christians and 4 laymen.
