BIRDY SOARS HIGH IN HYDERABAD!

Benjamin Puthota

HYDERABAD: 6th February -- The Bosco Institute of Research and

Development for Youth (BIRDY) has been evaluated in superlatives by

course members in recent times. Participants are drawn from all walks

of life and all ages: young people and young leaders, certainly, but

also Religious, teachers and Multinational Executives.

The Centre is now bringing out a book on Youth Ministry covering more

than one hundred topics of a practical and spiritual nature. Given that

some 27 million people in the area speak Telugu, the Telugu version of

this booklet is in high demand. The Institute's intent both in its

publications and its courses generally is to 'integrate mastery and

mystery'.

Should anyone be interested in further information on BIRDY or its

publications, feel free to contact Fr. Puthota at dbinh@hdl.vsnl.net.in
