Turin, Italy, 14 June 2017 -- During past few days our team of Missioni Don Bosco Torino (Italy) have visited three EAO countries - Laos, Vietnam and Thailand. The main goal was to provide visual materials for the incoming Salesian Mission Day 2018, as requested by the General Councilor for the Missions, Fr. Guillermo Basanes.

In these three countries our staff visited our Vocation Training Centers in Vientiane (Republic Democratic of Laos), in Phuoc Loc and Vinh Long (Socialist Republic of Vietnam) and in Pakkred - Bangkok (Kingdom of Thailand).

Our team was composed of five members: two TV crew members, one lady photographer, one interpreter and the Director of Mission Office in Turin - Valdocco. We were happy to receive everywhere a wonderful hospitality and be encouraged by excellent Salesian educative and pastoral mission. Everything went very well.

Most of the recent videos of Salesian Mission Day are available on Missioni Don Bosco website.
