” “Some people went to a disabled community and worked with them. Some others took part in improving the environment. Some repainted the parish halls. Others designed and coloured a large logo of the World Youth Day in a religious structure. Hence this was the way five hours of voluntary work were spent by 820 young people from Verona twinned with the diocese of Mainz (Magonza), who dedicated today to the World Youth Day, which involved at the same time about 120 thousand young people (of whom 20 thousand are Italian)in all 27 German dioceses. "An excellent start for all of us said Silvia Cordioli, one of the young people from Verona in Mainz -. The families welcomed us in a wonderful way. Last night they offered us a welcome dinner, whilst this evening we will take part in a ecumenical vigil in Taizè manner in an evangelical church".
