AMBASSADOR OF HOPE
Pope Francis affirms in a very prophetic way, “the world has to become contagious with hope, and we need to be equipped with the antivirus of Justice, Charity and Solidarity.”
“Dear young people, do not bury your talents, the gifts that God has given you! Do not be afraid to dream of great things!”
“Young people, dream, rise up, take risks, look at life with a new smile, go forwards, do not be fearful!”
A WORD FROM OUR LEADER
The motto ‘Moved by hope’ invites young people to dream big and emerge as protagonists of hope in creating a safe and just world for everyone.

DON BOSCO SPEAKS
In every young person, a point of goodness is accessible
For you I study, for you I work, for you I live, for you I am ready even to give my life.
Do not put off till tomorrow the good you can do today. You may not have a tomorrow.
Act today in such a way, that you need not blush tomorrow.
