Palm Sunday

For Palm Sunday the community of Bosco Boys started the days events at the school. There were a few scripture readings, the boys were given some palms to have, and then we all departed for the Kuwinda Slum to have mass there. All the way there we sang songs and the surrounding community joined in.

This is a picture of Br. Eric, he is one of our favorites. If you look closely on his shirt you will see a blue pin. This pin caught my (Pat) eye. The closer I looked I realized it was the pin of the Salesian USA West (the group Pat went with to World Youth Day Australia 2008). I was amazed to see this pin and asked him how he got it. He then said he got it in Australia by trading items with people from different countries. We both realized we were both there then started talking about specific places we both were at. We then realized we were both at St. John Bosco High School in Australia at the same time! Small world.
