Slovenia – A Happy Minibus
Slovenia
 (Ljubljana) –On May 16, 2009, in the Fuzine district of Ljubljana, a Happy Minibus took to the streets. It will be used by the Salesians and their helpers to find and meet youngsters on their own ground and work with the young encouraging them to seek education and instruction.

The Fuzine district has a growing immigrant population, especially from the Balkans, and is struggling with the social integration of the new comers into the work force, society in general, and in the educational system.

The Happy Minibus which will serve as a kind of traveling Oratory and is part of a Skala (Rock) project which the Salesians in Slovenia have launched in this area.

The launching ceremony for the Happy took place during the traditional annual celebration in the district, the Fuzine Festival. Local authorities, the donors who made the purchase of the minibus possible, the Salesian Provincial of Slovenia (SLO), Fr. Alojzij Slavko Snoj, as well as some of the young who will benefit from this mobile oratory participated in the ceremony.
