MILO (CT)

The proposal of the camp has its roots in the furrow of Providence, a reality that the Holy Spirit, back in 1921, wanted in the land of Catania by Maria Marletta, founder of the religious Congregation: Sisters Servants of Divine Providence.For almost a century, the service carried out by this small religious family has seen numerous fruits of healthy growth for many children, young people and young people who have not chosen to live on the margins, and who have only had the bitter experience of not belonging to anyone because of the hardships linked to their family of origin. The aim of the work camp is to complete the work of a natural path of games in the wood, to equip an area reserved for the play of small and less small, inside the old company abandoned for years. Once again this year, work will be carried out to rebuild paths and walls that have been given up over time. Work will be completed for the construction of benches and tables to be placed under the oaks for the moments of relaxation and fraternity of all the guests of the structure. Some more plants of berries will continue to be planted, in view of the transformation of the fruits, by the guests who will live in the farm. The aim is to create a social farm that in the future can accommodate a residential community of young people who risk marginalisation or who in any case feel the need for social recovery. In it, through rural work they will gradually experience a dignified human and Christian redemption. Through personalized paths, in a natural climate, they will find reasons to live and hope for a better future. This field, it is hoped, will create the premises for further projects that aim to restructure, through the gift of a shared work, some parts of the ancient structure, such as the millstone, the cellar and other rooms semi-destroyed by the various volcanic instability.
