SEOUL: 26th December '03 -- Salesians from the Dae Rim Dong community in South Korea are already at work, doing what they have done now for 25 years, preparing the annual Winter Bible Camp for some 60 youngsters, members of the Seoul Reformatory. This particular reformatory has 300 plus young people of whom more than 180 are of Protestant denominations, 90 are Buddhist or Zen-Buddhist - and 60 Catholics.
The camp will take place from 12th-15th January, four full days, and will be staffed by 5 SDBs 1 FMA and 15 mums as volunteers. This latter group regularly help out at the Reformatory during the catholic services for the youngsters each week. It is also likely that there will be an additional 10 young university students helping as leaders. The theme for this year's camp is Youth holiness - joy. The camp involves at least two sessions of bible study daily. Fr. Marcello Baek will be the camp coordinator.
