Kolkata: As one of the final documents during his term of office, Fr. Pascual Chavez has left Provincials and Salesians a letter with 10 guidelines for handling emergencies, especially in cases of natural disasters, war, violence or social and political instability.
This documents comes almost 10 years after the Tsunami of December 2004 which struck parts of South East Asia and which saw enormous involvement and teamwork from Mission Offices and Salesian NGOs. From this and subsequent experiences - especially the campaign of support and reconstruction in Haiti - the need to have some clear points of reference was seen, both at the centre and in the Provinces.
