EXTENSIVE INFORMATION ON SALESIANS IN FIJI NOW AVAILABLE
Julian Fox
SUVA (Fiji): 6th March -- I realise we are 'beating the Fijian drum' a little these days - but there's also a lack of news from elsewhere! You will have to keep the other news rolling in to distract me! By the way, 'beating the drum' is not just a metaphor here. It is the way messages are passed on (and you thought that only happened in the Africa that Joseph Conrad wrote about). Schools and Churches abound in the 'lale' Imagine Italy with drums instead of Church bells. On second thoughts, Rome had enough difficulty coming to terms with Samoan chiefs breaking the dress rules in St. Peter's recently!
Now - if you would like detailed and interesting information on the Salesian presence in Fiji, we have it all on Bosconet in a format that is pleasing to the eye and which tickles the imagination. It is a 'must read'. Try it by going in directly to http://www.bosconet.aust.com/Fiji.htm but if for any reason the direct route plays up, go in via Bosconet's front page to sdbworld, to Asia-Pacific and thence to Fiji. Enjoy - and give yourself some time once you accept Mika's invitation (he's the boy on the waterfall at our very first outing with a group of students from St. John Bosco's school).
