1061_'They invited me...': Salesian Bulletin Director aims to win BBC Joy or Sadness competition

 

 

SAN SALVADOR: 3rd March 2005 -- Yes, I know this one is a little out of our region (though the Central American Province has had an Australian Salesian missionary, Fr Tony DeGroot working there for many years), but this is really a human interest story that you can interact with - immediately, please, if you wish to help.

    Fr Heriberto Herrera, director of the Salesian Bulletin in Central America, has entered a BBC photo competition and is amongst the ten best photos selected from around the world.  When I asked him how this came about he said (Heriberto speaks and writes excellent English) "It's a mystery why and how the BBC decided to include my photo amongst the 10 best.  I sent mine answering an invitation to take part.  The only criteria was to send one photo about joy or sadness with a text of no more than 40 words."
