History
Dear Elena,
I'm very happy to receive news from you
I'm responding immediately and sending you the following
information:
-
The Orphanage took the name of DOMINGO SAVIO, because he
met all the conditions for being the protector and model
for the children. He comes from a humble and strong christian family,
an excellent student, spiritually strong and very brave defending his
principles.
He is borned in Italy, April 2, 1842 and dies the 9th of
March 1857.
His teacher was Don Bosco, founder of the Salesianos,
and in those years Domingo was his student, and at the
the same time helping his teacher in forming
the children which Don Bosco would pickup from the
streets, from very poor families where they
had abundance of bad examples; alcohol and physical
abuse.
- The Trappist Catholic Monks,
dedicate themselves to Prayer, Agriculture
and other works.
They are in Chile, from the year 1950, actually
they live by the suburb of Graneros, 7 miles
towards the Andes Mountains.
The Monks support the poorest people in a quiet and
active way.
From this sprouts their decision to help and support us
from the beginning our Orphanage, believing our proposal.
They receive the donations coming from the United States,
till the present time.
- At present the Orphanage has a checking account:
FUNDACION DE MENORES DOMINGO SAVIO
CUENTA: 2579444-3
BANCO SANTANDER
SUCURSAL PEDRO DE VALDIVIA
SANTIAGO DE CHILE
Many thanks for helping us, we are in great need
God Bless you,
Love
Olga Díaz.
