Dili - Fatumaca - Los Palos, Timor Leste 25 September 2022 -- The 2020 Season of Creation (Sept 1 - Oct 4) is going slowly to the end and we may to share some small but important fruits from across the East Asia-Oceania region provinces. Yes, they are little contributions, but usually are done with the young people (as part of the Don Bosco Green Alliance commitment) and their impact will not stop with this special month.
The most visible are different schools, formation houses, community efforts to plant flowers, vegetables, different trees or even to put the scientific names of the flowers or trees: We may appreciate the photos from Darkhan in Mongolia (VIE-Delegation of Mongolia) with harvesting pumpkins and other vegetables at the end of their short summer. We may be touched by the patient commitment of Assales Senior Aspirants in Fatumaca (TLS - Timor Leste) with their Latin description of each flower in their large green garden. We may also see the students of Gabutu in Port Moresby (PGS Viceprovince - Papua New Guinea) hard working in their small garden. And last but not the least we may appreciate the joint forces of Korea religious men and women (including the SDB, FMA and Caritas of Jesus sisters) to join weekly Friday noon hour of campaign in downtown Seoul - of course with the drumming of one creative Salesian priest!
Pope Francis has invited us this year to "Listen to the voice of Creation". Let's make some contribution during last week of this Season of Creation. Within the worldwide natural disasters (floods, drought, melting of glaciers...) each small contribution makes a sense. As we know a slowly growing forest does make much noise....
