Bamboo Park in Tetere, SI

TETERE (SI): 5 July 2011 -- The Don Bosco Rural Training Centre (DBRTC) used the occasion of its monthly collective celebration of students' birthdays to use a newly inaugurated section of the expanding DBRTC enterprise - the Don Bosco Bamboo Park.
    Situated just near the Don Bosco Haus (Salesian residence), where our correspondent Bro Moise Palaku, lives, the celebrations took place on Saturday 2 July. It was a moment which brought together a series of events. The DBRTC involves young men and women in a variety of skill training especially connected with agriculture and associated trades. The birthday celebrations covered the months of June and July, but the event also offered a chance for a blessing on the rice harvest. So what better place to do all this than in the newly developed Bamboo Park!
    Although it was an evening event, the day was not considered complete without the morning Mass, but from 6 pm onwards, the festivities swung into action, beginning with the Rosary then leading to a special open air meal, garlanding of  those celebrating birthdays, and of course, a showcase presentation of Solomon Islands culture with cultural dances from Guadalcanal, the islands on which DBRTC is situated, Makira-Ulawa (formerly San Cristobal) to the south east and nearby Malaita, the largest and most populous island in the group to the north east. All three provinces are presented at DBRTC.
    Fr Michael Lap, the Rector, concluded the event with a word of thanks and encouragement by way of a Good Night.
..............
On an entirely different and sobering note - please keep in your prayers the provincials of Japan and Philippines North respectively, who are undergoing treatment for cancer. Fr Cipriani (Japan) was operated on this week, and it remains to be seen how effective the intervention has been. Fr Eli Cruz will wait awhile for planned treatment.
