Don Bosco Kep Province, Cambodia. Next weekend, 27-28 January, Voices of the Voiceless program is going to take place at the Don Bosco Kep social communication centre of the Cambodian Delegation, THA Province around the topic of indigenous peoples and environment. 

Young people and elders from 10 Cambodian indigenous communities, will gather at the Don Bosco Kep Campus to share their voices on topics such as indigenous identity, ancestral values and wisdom worthy of revival for our time, the importance of the indigenous languages preservation, protection and revival and the relation between the care for the Common Home and the empowerment of indigenous peoples in the context of climate change, violence, exploitation of minorities and the rising of a technocracy around the world. 

During the first day, the indigenous delegations, which include students of the Don Bosco technical school, plan to open the program with the sacred circle of word and the sharing, where everybody is welcomed and appreciated in a sense of family, the blessing of the Don Bosco’s territory as an ancestral land, in the context of the Strenna 2024, “The dream that makes you dream”. A heart that transforms “wolves” into “lambs”. Don Bosco, as a Cha Thom, meaning the elder or wiser of a spiritual movement, meets us in his dream 200 years ago.
