Cambodia: Year-end Drama at Don Bosco Phnom Penh Draws more than 3,500  

 

PHNOM PENH31 December 2004 --  In a truly Salesian style of mobilizing  children and young people, the Salesian Youth Movement of Don Bosco Phnom Penh presented a yearender drama “The Greatest Story Ever Told", the Birth of the Savior, that drew more than 3,500 people mostly non-Christians.

     In beautiful, creative dramatic actions, movements and dances the cast of eighty children and youth of whom only four  are Catholic depicted the nativity scenes easily understood by local viewers. The message was clear:  we celebrate the Son of God, the Savior. He comes to liberate us from the human predicament, our sinfulness. He declares to us the Good News that we are loved by God. “He gave power to become children of God” (Jn. 1:12).

    This is even more than a Good News for the children and youth of Don Bosco Technical School in Phnom Penh. This is news that is empowering. It empowers them to dramatize the Christmas scenes for the first time in twelve years for the public audience. It empowers them by changing their former disposition of insecurity, fear and lack of courage into that blessed assurance, new hope and enthusiasm in the New EvangelisationHopefully, this will be the new beginning for the long journey of proclaiming the Good News ahead, a happy 2005 indeed!
