(ANS – Lungi) – Lo Po Tak Anthony is a Chinese Salesian born in Hong Kong who arrived one year ago in the English speaking province of Western Africa (AFW). He spent 6 months in Ghana and since last April he has been continuing his practical training in Sierra Leone. “I am assigned to visit 5 different outstation schools, so I have to go to a different school every day for my apostolate. There are no Salesians working there, and my mission is to build up the Salesian Spirit in those schools, and by using different activities to make the students enjoy their time in school. I am going to use music, creative arts, physical education, games and Chinese Kung Fu to let them experience the other aspects of learning” he said. 

(ANS - Quito) - "Whether you are here or there, you're no longer a stranger, you are part of a Church and a Congregation, open yourself to the experience and live every day with passion, in the navel of the moon , or in the navel of the earth.” These were the words spoken by his father, when a young Mexican called Alán Benigno González Castañeda went to Ecuador to begin a new experience.

(ANS – Tokyo) – "When I was a novice at Monte Olive-to (Italy) they made me the lead-e r of the missionary group. That’s when I began to feel the desire to work as a Salesian among people who never heard anything about Jesus and His teaching. I then sent a letter to Fr. Bellido, the then General Council-lor for the Missions, ask-ing him to send me to a place 'where there would be just a few Christians'. I think that is the reason why I was sent to Japan, where Christians are real-ly very few". On the occasion of World Mission Day, that will be celebrated on Sunday, October 23rd, we publish herewith the testimony of Fr. Achille Loro Piana.
