VIRAR, APRIL 6, 2010: When Fr. Edwin Colaco mentioned to us that we have a golden opportunity to feature on Doordarshan our excitement knew no bounds. We got down to work immediately. Alex Lokanthan, the president of the Resurrection Youth, penned the entire script and the practices began in right earnest.
Through the script we wanted to convey how Jesus triumphed over sin and death through his resurrection. To make our presentation very attractive, we interspersed the way of the Cross with songs and a dance.
The programme was telecast on Friday, April 2 and Saturday, April 3, 2010. It has been a defining moment in our lives. Never in our lives did we ever imagine that we would get a chance to feature on Doordarshan. This has brought our youth closer to each other, helped us to shed our diffidence and made us grow in our love for the church and the Salesians.
This whole project, which has been a joint venture of the Resurrection and the Jyoti youth, has been made possible only because of Fr. Edwin Colaco. His initiative, guidance and constant follow-up have evinced the best in us. These memories and the help offered by Fr. Edwin and Fr. Gregory will be indelibly imprinted in our minds.
