Niterói, Brazil - 1890 - On the evening of July 14, 1883, the first Salesians arrived in Niterói, the state of Rio de Janeiro, to begin Don Bosco's work in Brazil. They began with a small school and a small number of students - 10, according to reports. As in many beginnings, here too everything was precarious, except the will to serve God through the education of young people. But over the years, students and activities increased: in the photo, together with the Sons of Don Bosco, the students of the "Santa Rosa" Institute of Niterói of the year 1890 are represented.
