Brazil - "São João Bosco" Parish and Salesian Cooperators promote Easter Campaign for beneficiaries of "Ampare" and "Casa Dom Bosco"
Campo Grande, Brazil - April 2023 - As is customary every year, "São João Bosco" Parish in Campo Grande and the local group of Salesian Cooperators, promoted the Easter Campaign, collecting chocolate eggs to be donated to 200 children and youth of the social work "Salesianos Ampare" and 120 minors of the social work "Casa Dom Bosco," both in Campo Grande. Great was the joy of all involved, both the young beneficiaries of the initiative and those who carried it out: "Much more than sweets, Easter represents for us the resurrection and the love of Jesus Christ." A short film on Jesus' passion, death, and resurrection was also shown at the presentation of Easter gifts, and one of the students said, "'I promised God that my last breath would be for the youth.' This is a phrase that Don Bosco left us, and I thank you today for carrying out his dream."
