5063(II)_'Don Bosco Bakery - Cafe'
Don Bosco Bakery Opens in Ho Chi Minh City
April 16, 2019
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, 14 April 2019 -- Four years after the opening of the Majcen Center - Bistro, Restaurant and Vocation Training Center in Ho Chi Minh City, last Sunday was a great opening of the humble outreach of 'Don Bosco Bakery - Cafe', (32 Truc Duong, Thao Dien , Q2) located in one of the central districts of HCM City (Saigon), just near the British International School, where many expatriates live. Four Salesians are assigned to this new pilot project (two Salesian Brothers and two Salesian Priests), who are still members of the large Ben Cat Community (Rector Fr Peter Hoang), but fully involved in Majcen Training Centre.
The new Don Bosco Bakery - Cafe offers to the young people in Vietnam not only to learn bread and sweet-making skills but also to learn about management and marketing, marking a new step toward the self-sustainability of our Vocation Training Center. From the idea stage the whole project has been accompanied by many Vietnamese and foreign experts, also the presence of two volunteer staff - a chef and training staff enhance the quality of training. Also this new outreach is a fruit of the cooperation among Salesians and expatriate volunteers helping the Majcen Bistro - Training Center.
The Grand Opening was celebrated on Sunday (April 14) with a blessing and simple cultural items to make the new Bakery - Cafe known in the neigbourhood.
We wish and pray that the new Don Bosco enterprise will help many young people in Vietnam with their integral preparation for life and also that the Salesians will learn how to grow in the self-sustainability of our vocation training institutions.
