For them the first time outside their region, the first time in Khulna, the first time on a boat&#8230; The first time they see so many young people all together!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We, Missionaries of the Immaculate \u2013 PIME, have been present here in the city of Mymensingh for a year and a half for the management of a hostel with about 60 girls and for help in local and missionary pastoral care. The community is composed of three sisters: one Italian and two Bangladeshis. We are inserted in an area with a predominantly ethnic mandi \/ garo, a matriarchal group now become for the most part Christian.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The National Youth Day in Bangladesh is organized every year in a different Diocese, and it can be described as a great festival, with opportunities for formation, mutual knowledge, but also leisure and fun. Each Diocese participates with a group of 40-45 young people, who then have the task of returning to their Parishes and Dioceses and sharing what they have experienced with all the other youth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And it is with this spirit that our six girls have also prepared their selves for the big event, anxious to see and learn many new things!<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top:

knowing different cultures (there are at least 25 ethnic groups present today in Bangladesh) and being together as Christians (in a country with more than 90% of inhabitants of Islamic religion), is the one relaunched in Pope Francis\u2019s Encyclical LAUDATO SI. In these four days the youth were engaged in moments of &#8216;prayer in nature&#8217;, excursions to <a href=\"https:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/en\/list\/798\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sundarbans<\/a> ((the largest Mangrove Forest in the world), and concretely in planting new trees and flowers.<br \/>\nHence the renewed enthusiasm to be Christians committed to the protection of Creation and Nature, not to waste water (a primary and not always obvious good), to reuse what we have and not to throw it easily away. And if to reiterate this lesson are six teenage girls &#8230; These words sound even louder!
