As a tradition in Sant'Egidio, summer is the time when holidays combine with solidarity. Activities in this period are many: from journeys with children to holidays with elderly and homeless friends. These days we are receiving pictures of this special summer from different parts of the world, here are the first ones:
Hungary: holiday on the Danube in Leányfalu with the elderly of a Budapest institute.
Argentina: Youth for Peace of La Matanza, near Buenos Aires, visit the elderly of Hogar Botaro
