KEP CITY: 3rd November 2005 -- Don Bosco Cambodia
inaugurated Don Bosco Centre Kep, 164 kms south of Phnom Penh on
Tuesday 1st November 2005. It is a new sectoral ministry managed
by the Don Bosco Technical School Phnom Penh Community, to offer
students and young people a venue and facilities for meetings,
seminars, group experiences and youth camp activity with a formation
slant. It bridges the mountains and sea and is a place 'where the
perfect combination of relaxation and exciting formation facilities
roll into one' (They must have a publicity manager with a line like
that!!).
The main guest of honour at the opening was the
director of the Department of Education, Youth and Sports, Mr Nguon
Bian. The SCHIOCH group of nine people representing Dutch
benefactors came to add solemnity to the ceremony, amidst 550 students
from the nearby Government High School and members of the Don Bosco
Childrens Fund Mercy Ministries.
The Centre offers accommodation by dormitory
arrangement: boys dormitory and girls dormitory on the first
floor. Each dormitory can accommodate 80-100 beds with a separate
room for assistants (6-8 beds). The 200 capacity ground floor
serves as an open activity hall and refectory with kitchen
facilities. A separate house for leaders and facilitators
provides four twin bedrooms with restroom, a meeting room, prayer room,
dining room and a dormitory with 8-12 beds.
In Don Bosco Cambodia, the Salesians are always on
the move 'with the young, all the time, any time'.
