Sikasso, 03 July, 2021 / 7:55 pm (ACI Africa).
Members of the Religious Institute of the Salesians of Don Bosco (SDB) ministering in Mali are offering educational entertainment to “disadvantaged young” in the neighborhood of Bamako in the country’s Archdiocese of Bamako.
The youth are empowered through the “promotion of healthy educational entertainment for disadvantaged young people in the Niaréla neighborhood,” a project supported by Spain’s Municipality of Pozoblanco.
The program, SDB officials say in a Monday, June 28 report, “aims to strengthen support for disadvantaged youth through educational activities that promote cultural values and the talent of each person.”
“Youth take part in organized sports, music, and free-time activities that are healthy and safe,” they say.
In the report obtained by ACI Africa, the Priest ministering among the youth, Fr. Romeo Salami, says the project is important as “young people always need to feel together and united.”
