Christmas Day

The Salesians, the child leaders, and the children of Don Bosco Poipet wish you all a very Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year.

On this day, we said farewell to our 20 year old German volunteer, Karin, who stayed with us for around six months watching over the girls of the center literally 24/7. It's amazing to see the commitment of young people nowadays. Youth serving youth, as they say. Young people guided into good causes could always be harbingers of peace and development; but misguided they could cause great havoc too.

Advent

Advent is the start of a new Church year for Christians.
Every new year signifies another chance to start anew. Hence it's good to start working on a clean slate. Take a look at this clean white artboard. Go ahead click on it.


And as you move your mouse on it, clicking and dragging, you can fill it with colors and figures your heart and mind could ever desire or imagine. Until you produce your very own artwork. Life is art they say. Such is life... it's in your mouse... ooops sorry, it's in your hands.
Advent is like clean artboard where you start to fill it little by little, step by step with colors and decors until at the end up with the most colorful artwork - Christmas.
