Past Pupils World Confederation 27 December 2020 -- We Wish you a Merry Christmas!
Two video messages from the World President, Michal Hort (English: for the Don Bosco Past Pupils and Italian: for the World Advisory Body of the Salesian Family) were released together with the 40th issue of the 'Newsflash' (quarterly digital publication in 5 languages).
Mr. Hort wishes 'Uniqueness of the the times in which we live' and the main recent achievement of this 150th Jubilee Year: restored and updated central website 'Exallievi.org', publications on Carlo Gastini (first leader of Valdocco Past Pupils) and Alberto Marvelli (Blessed Italian Alumnus), 150 Past Pupils Profiles and Projects. And the World President also reminds us of 'the importance and exclusivity of the times we live in.... Our own lives and all examples we share with you via this 'Exallievi Newsflash' are a living proof of our rich history, evolution or our structures and rise of the impact that Past Pupils are invited to create in today's society'.
Among the good news from the Federations during this last quarter of 2020 for 'unknown reasons' many AustraLasia news items prevail - especially from Timor Leste, Taiwan, China-Macau-Hong Kong, Thailand, Pakistan, Samoa and the animation by the Asia-Oceania GEX regional councilor. Especially the amazing generosity of Macau-Hong Kong Alumni for Timor Leste is worthy inspiration for other Federations. Don't hesitate to spare a few minutes for this inspiring Salesianity reading!
The complete digital version of Newsflash no.40 is available on Boscolink (ENG, POR) and both Christmas messages on the Exallievi Don Bosco YouTube Channel (ENG, ITA). On the restored world website of the Don Bosco Past Pupils (https://exallievi.org) you can directly access most of the active Federation digital platforms (from the EAO so far only Korea, Pakistan and the Philippines) a good chance to feel part of the large Don Bosco World Family!
The 'Newsflash' does not yet reach too many Don Bosco Past Pupils, so you can help share it!
Merry Christmas to all Don Bosco Past Pupils and Don Bosco Friends.
5562(II)_Past Pupils of Don Bosco Kumgi are finally together!
