Michael Chang – “A concise history of the salesian corean missions” in “The beginning of the Salesian presence in east Asia”.
Don Bosco was a man who dreamed dreams. His dreams became reality and are still becoming reality. A lot of people think that he had a dream that is connected with the Korean province.

The purpose of this work is to show the process of the first presence of the Salesians in East Timor, between 1927 and 1929.
