(ANS – Kénitra) – In this month of July the Salesian Oratory in Kénitra, “Nadi el Farah” (Happy Times Association), has put on a series of activities that gives great hope for the future. The Oratory, which stopped its activities shortly after it opened on 1 April 2007, has succeeded in keeping alive enthusiasm and its contacts with youngsters thanks to a small group of young people students of the Vocational Training Centre and three staff members of the “École Don Bosco”.

Between 9 and 13 July there was a training course for youth leaders and adults attended by 40 people. The course material– Salesian Pedagogy, basics of Leadership and also some First Aid hints – was taught by Sr. Lidia Sordo, Daughter of Mary Help of Christians with Walid and Lilia, two young Youth Leaders from Tunisia.

On Monday 14 activities began for the smallest boys and girls from the district. About a hundred of them turn up each day at the premises of the ”École Don Bosco” where welcomed by 25 leaders they are able to spend their free time in a peaceful and constructive way. The month of July will conclude with a great festival and a two day trip.

The “Nadi el Farah” Project in Kénitra seems to have been very well received in an area that is mainly Muslim. In Kénitra the Salesians have a parish, an elementary school, and a Vocational Training Centre.
