KEP, Cambodia, 28 January 2021 -- Since 2008 there have been some experiences of an online Salesian Bulletin for Cambodia led by the Social Communication Department. But this will be the first year where the Khmer Salesian Bulletin will be on paper to be distributed to young people and members of the Salesian Family in the country.
This is a very special ocassion because it also opens the countdown to the 30th anniversary of the Salesian mission in Cambodia that will be on 24 May. The Cambodian Salesian Bulletin will be published 4 times during the year with topics that include some principles of catechesis in a country that is mostly Buddhist: on Salesianity and activities of the Salesian Family.
It is also published at a critical moment of the covid19 pandemic that is leading humanity to a more digital world. Despite this, the publication on paper means that the Salesian charism will also reach those who are not connected. At the same time, if there is large disconnection in the near or far future, books, magazines, bulletins on paper will remain there for somebody to read and discover our history, our Salesian history.
