Dili, Timor Leste (RDTL), 5 July 2021 -- Each EAO regional event brings a lot of valuable charismatic experience, inspiration and wisdom together. The recent 12th Asia-Oceania Don Bosco Past Pupils Congress 'ONLINE' was no exception. Although the three sessions are available online, a special focus on some Associations and Federations might be very fruitful.

Within the EAO Past Pupils of Don Bosco, the East Timor (Timor Leste) Federation is probably the most dynamic with clear goals and strong Salesian charismatic identity expressed in its planning, evaluation, activities and many outstanding event and endeavors. Two video reports shared during the recent Asia-Oceania Congress - President's (Mr Azevedo Marcal) Report and Vice-president's (GEX) presentation of the situation in their country are full of fresh dynamics:

1. Clear STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Return Home - in order to consolidate the network of Salesian Family, esp. Don Bosco Past Pupils

2. Following 7 GOALS of the World Confederation with 14 programs of the National Federation

3. Implementing GEX promotion in close synergy with the Salesian Youth Movement and Oratories

4. Deep relationship and involvement within the Salesian Family, also with DB Friends Cooperatives (K-BDB; present 60 active members: building houses, scholarships, sport cups)

5. Best practices - successful program results:
