Don Rua celebration - and spare a prayer for Fr Ochoa please!

PHNOM PENH: 15 July 2010 -- 1,500 young people from different provinces of Cambodia under the Don Bosco Children Fund (DBCF) Project came to Don Bosco Technical School (DBTS) Phnom Penh Thmey to celebrate Don Rua Day on July 10-11.  These youngsters are just one-third of the actual number of beneficiaries of the sponsorship by generous benefactors from different countries to assist poor children and youth in Cambodia in their health and basic education.
    In celebration of the Centenary of the Death of Blessed Michael Rua the overnight celebration aimed at making Don Rua known through fun-filled youthful activities, songs and presentations animated by volunteer leaders from DBTS and Volunteers of DBCF. 
    The celebration ended with an invitation by Fr. Roel Soto, SDB, Vicar of DBTS, to ask the intercession of Blessed Michael Rua for the full and quick recovery of Fr. Leo Ochoa SDB, the Salesian in charge of the DBCF, who suffered a stroke two weeks ago while preparing the leaders for the Don Rua Day.
