One of the especially uplifting and engaging events is the \u201cMarijafest\u201d, a music festival attended by several hundred young people where the foundations of Christian charity are laid. Respect for others and the awareness that we are all children of God can help to overcome the gulf between us. Sharing Faith in Jesus Christ and in the inexhaustible power of His Love can also give us the strength to forgive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Aid to the Church in Need is supporting the youth centre\u2019s work of reconciliation with a contribution.
