(ANS - Damascus) - Fr Munir Hanachi, a 34-year-old Salesian from Aleppo, has been in Damascus since 2013, and he is the Director of the local Salesian house. In the current context, where rockets still rain down on Damascus and the militias surround the city, the Salesian center has become an "Oasis of peace" as it offers, to those who frequent, a place of serenity and essential services that in the homes of people are now rare.

(ANS - Madrid) - Spanish Salesian Fr Cristóbal López has only one priority in his new role as Archbishop of Rabat, Morocco: "To love people."
