Bangkok, Thailand - From 10th to 16th August 2015 a larger group of the Salesian Youth Movement of THA Province participated at the SYM Don Bosco 2015 ‘Like Don Bosco – With the Young – For the Young’.

24 members of this group were guided by one Salesian SDB, two FMA and three other consecrated of the Salesian Family (SIHM, DQM, SQM), 4 catechists and 14 young people coming from variety of Salesian Family institutions in Thailand.

It was a precious moment to get know Don Bosco, his spirituality as well the different Holy Places where Don Bosco was living and working.

A special grace was the opportunity to be hosted by the Turin – Valsalice SDB community, where the mortal remains of St. John Bosco were preserved for 41 years after his death (1888-1934).

After a special week in Turin – Becchi, the whole group visited also some other cities of Italy to enjoy a personal experience of Don Bosco homeland.
