Reaching Out to the Children of Ranadi Landfill

Henderson, Solomon Islands – since last year the Salesian community of DBTI Henderson has initiated a programme to reach out to the children and youth of Ranadi Landfill at the outskirts of Honiara. Every afternoon of Tuesday and Thursday as well as every Saturday morning, Salesians and Lay Mission Partners welcome the children and youth of Ranadi for literacy classes and skills training. On Sundays the Salesians themselves go to Ranadi to celebrate the Eucharist for the Catholic community.

Editorial
Don Bosco

Don Bosco was creative, enthusiastic and enterprising in his work. He wrote and edited booklets, school texts, histories, digests, magazines, fliers, plays. From his earliest years as a priest, Don Bosco communicated through his whole demeanour and person, through games, talking, visiting, preaching, and publishing. Communicating through the internet and publishing is a priority for Salesians. Inspired by this example of Don Bosco and the early Salesians, Social Communication continues an important priority.
