(Excerpt) The first day of the U.N. Water Conference, March 22, was international World Water Day, a day marked by Salesian Missions, the New York-based development arm of the Salesians of Don Bosco.

He said a Salesian clean water initiative has made “building wells and supplying fresh, clean water a top priority for every community in every country in which Salesian missionaries work.”
