AHMEDNAGAR, AUGUST 30, 2010: Eighteen youth cycled their way on August 29, 2010, from St Anne’s Ahmednagar to Dongargaon, 18 kms each way. Dongargaon is not new in Salesian Circles. It came into prominence due to the rainwater harvesting project done by BGVK and was promoted by our Media center, Tej Prasarini.
They began the trip with a prayer and distribution of provisions which they would need during the trip. Fr Dominic Martis sdb, led the pack of fourteen young boys and four young girls to enjoy a day with nature and also to begin a group building process. The day was sultry and dry when they began in the morning, but towards evening the rains fell on the returning cyclist. This did not dampen their enthusiasm nor their spirit of adventure. Every one enjoyed the pleasure of a cycle ride into the greenery of Nature and the beauty of Creation. The youth returned home energized and ready for the next planned event on their yearly schedule.
A bit of background information for those visitors who have no time to visit the Mission of Ahmednagar and more specifically Dongargaon Village and Mala: Legend has it that Ram shot his arrow into the ground and a lake was formed. Legend also has it that Sita had a bath in the Bathing Rooms here.
