Slovenia - Solidarity for scholarships

25 May 2021

Ljubljana, Slovenia - May 2021 - The Planning and Development Office of the Slovenian Salesian foundation "Fundacija Don Bosko", under the leadership of Maja Žibert, a young former pupil of the Salesian school, responded to the needs and challenges caused by the pandemic with the charity event "Solidarity for Scholarships". Together with the Slovenian Catholic Radio "Ognjišče", a series of radio broadcasts with experts on the anguish caused by the pandemic had, since January, been prepared. On May 21, the last live broadcast was aired with a concert and guests to collect donations for students affected by the pandemic. In the Salesian house of Ljubljana-Rakovnik the young animators, scouts and Salesians worked at the "call center", where they received phone calls with donations from listeners. The support went beyond expectations. At the end, Fr Marko Košnik, Salesian Province of Slovenia Provincial (SLO), who also worked at the call center, thanked everyone and said: "Marian devotion and solidarity always go together. Don Bosco turned to Our Lady in his needs and was always helped. His benefactors, instead, experienced Her graces to which Don Bosco recommended them."
