Ms Tasileta Tagiilima started working at Don Bosco Technical Centre (DBTC) in Alafua, Samoa, in 2018 on a temporary contract to help with secretarial duties. Little was Tasileta to know that this temporary role was the start of a beautiful journey that has touched the lives of so many, right up to the present day!

Dear Friend of Salesian Missions,
I would like to thank you for all the messages of encouragement, congratulations and well wishes I received during the past year.
Don Bosco's Salesians throughout Poland continue to join forces to help the victims of the war. The on-going challenge is to prepare housing for refugees which are mostly women and children. Currently, they have housed over 1100 refugees in Salesian works throughout Poland, however this number is dynamic and changes daily.
Twenty-two Year 5 and 6 students recently gave up a day of eating to raise money for charities that are supported by the Justice Squad, a socially minded group of young leaders from St Gerard Majella primary school in Cairns. All students stopped eating for ten hours from 7:30 am till 5:30 pm, not an easy task for hungry, growing, young children!
