Valencia, Spain - October 2016 - More than three thousand people, including a large representation from the two Salesian Houses in Valencia, took part in the "Zero Poverty" gathering on 15 October.  Chanting slogans and carrying placards and banners against poverty, young people, families, teachers, Salesians and Salesian Family members marched through the streets of Valencia.
