The adventure that awaited us on the four elements of earth revolved: AIR, FIRE, EARTH and WATER. Each of us has received a chestnut as a symbol of the earth, a candle as a symbol of fire, a bottiglina of water as a symbol of water, and finally the colored sand as a symbol of the wind. Every activity of reflection and prayer was based on these four elements alternating with moments of fun, excitement and apprehension, but ...... but the most exciting thing was the screening of videos and testimonials about the service that our leaders lent struck in Abruzzo by the earthquake of 6 April 2009.
