Jeugddienst Don Bosco vzw celebrates 50th anniversary! On April 25th, Jeugddienst Don Bosco vzw opened the doors widely in the school of Don Bosco Haacht where the big celebration for Jeugddienst’s 50th anniversary took place. Nervously waiting for the first guests and visitors to come, the last details were fixed: colorful balloons were blown and spread all over the school and parking guards took their positions to welcome the (VIP)guests properly.   

Starting with the Eucharist just after lunch, more than 500 hundred young (and also less young) people gathered together in the chapel to celebrate this anniversary together with Don Fabio Attard, Don Jos Claes, Sr. Maria del Carmen Canales, Sr. Therese Angelet and many other Salesian priests from the Dutch province. 

In the afternoon, different kind of activities were provided by the young volunteers active within Jeugddienst Don Bosco. For the young people there were some typical Flemish games, bouncy castles and a rodeo bull and for the less young people there were chocolate workshops and a big exhibition of 50 years Jeugddienst Don Bosco. Performances had been made by acrobats and fire-eaters, for everyone of us there was something special! 

 After a Mediterranean buffet for diner, there was a live performance of some volunteers with many sketches, a game for the enthusiastic audience and later in the evening there was a big party for the young people to conclude this fantastic celebration party. 

 

It was a wonderful day for many young people who gave the best of themselves and showed their joyful commitment for another 50 brilliant years.
