(ANS – La Paz) – In Bolivia, Salesians have a radio communication network called ARTESBOL (Association of Salesian Educational Radio-Television Stations in Bolivia). This service to society currently has seven centres located in areas prioritized by the Salesian mission. In fact, the stations broadcast their signal from the peripheries of large cities, thus showing their purely social and pastoral nature. This geographical location makes it possible for Audio Bosco to offer its radio waves to connect the most disadvantaged peoples to the rest of the country, and to provide them its microphones so that the voices of the voiceless can be heard. Thus, the radio project in Bolivia has been chosen for the Salesian Mission Day "Communicating Christ Today".
