Argentina - Don Bosco, present at "Caminos y Sabores"

18 July 2024

Buenos Aires, Argentina – July 2024 - The Salesian work in Argentina has once again been involved in the Caminos y Sabores gastronomic fair, represented through the stand of "Por los Jóvenes – Don Bosco", the Salesian Mission Office in Argentina. At the event that took place at the La Rural property, in the city of Buenos Aires, "Por los Jóvenes – Don Bosco" presented the products made in the Salesian Agricultural Schools: wines and oil from the Salesian work in Rodeo del Medio, Mendoza; the "dulce de leche", cheeses and cured meats from the EAS "Carlos M. Casares" of Del Valle, Buenos Aires; and the yerba from the  "Pascual Gentilini" Agricultural Institute in Misiones. In the four days of the fair, there were over 100,000 visitors with record sales. The Salesian stand was visited by many people, by those who had already tried Salesian products and also many who did not know them, being pleasantly surprised that they would help many young people with their purchase. "Caminos y Sabores" was a new opportunity to spread the work that Don Bosco does through Salesian houses throughout the country and to involve thousands of people to offer education and formation opportunities. Among the more than 450 initiatives, the "Por los Jóvenes – Don Bosco" stand was highlighted for the social impact of its sales, since the proceeds are destined to educational, socio-community and professional formation proposals in which young people from different vulnerable contexts participate. This year the stand was chosen to be part of the official press tour, which was attended by more than 40 journalists and influencers, testifying to the value of Salesian work in the country.
