SEOUL: 20th July 2007 -- South Korea's capital has seven
Salesian communities involving three vocational training centres, some
social welfare institutions for young people, one parish, one youth
centre which serves State schools 24/7, some group homes for youngsters
from broken families, and one juvenile delinquent boarding facility.
Since 2005 Seoul City has sponsored a Mobile
Oratory, an idea which arose from the Salesians of Don Bosco and more
particularly from their Social Communications Centre in Shil Kil 6
Dong. That's where the mobile unit (a bus) is parked, but it goes
around Seoul's streets with its broadcasting equipment and audio
system, almost every week.
Just a week ago (14th July), the Mobile Oratory
conducted a Song Competition in Seon-Yoo-Do Park. It was open to
any teenager and 26 teams took aprt in the event at the beginning of
the summer holiday period. Ten of those teams moved to the
finals. This is one of the KOR province's 'new frontiers'
response, a way of reaching out to youngsters in today's fast-changing
Korean society. _________________ AustraLasia is an
