The Communities of  Sant’Egidio of South Africa (Johannesburg, Pretoria and Polokwane) gathered to reflect, in the spirit of Pentecost, on the service to the poor with special reference to the schools of peace and the homeless.

Many of the homless, in fact, and among them many young immigrants and minors, are chased away from thei normal living areas because of the coming World Cup.

The Community, considering the approaching cold season, is ready to follow them with even greater care.
