Caracas, Venezuela - July 2022 - The life of the youth centers and oratories of the Salesian Province of Venezuela (VEN) has been altered in the past years due to the pandemic, as well as that of their animators and recipients. All this has made them adapt to the new needs that have arisen, maintaining their range of activities with online, in-person, semi-in-person, integral and individual accompaniment. The period of July and August is one of the most important times for the young animators of Salesian youth centers and oratories as they promote, together with the Salesians and lay collaborators, the educational and evangelizing activities of the vacation time. "They are unforgettable experiences, because with them the participants have fun, make new friends, improve their social skills in relationships with others, grow in respect, tolerance and freedom, increase their self-esteem and confidence, develop their independence and autonomy, learn and practice values, assume a healthy lifestyle through daily life, and value their families and social environments," says Fr. Jorge Bastidas, Delegate for Youth Ministry of the VEN Province. This year, the VEN Province estimates that about 10,000 participants between animators and recipients will be involved during the vacations. The Commission of Oratories and Youth Centers chaired by Fr. Bastidas launched the proposal at the national level with the motto: "With the strength of Love everything is possible."
