tonj band from south sudan on tour of south korea

it is a dream come true for these young youth from salesian mission secondary and primary school of tonj south sudan to finally make it to south korea after 3 previous attempts in the last 8 years. The late fr lee who founded the group would be happy to see from his grave that after his death the band still continues  with new members and under different leadership keeping the flag flying in the same one salesian charism.
The band was also invited to perform during the historic independence day celebrations of South Sudan in 2011 at the national stadium in Juba (capital of South Sudan) and though they were not able to make it, this trip would be very memorable to each and every one of them and their families back home in South Sudan and definitely, the already sensational image of the late fr John Lee with the South Korean national  Media would be having some spectacular highlights in the coming days. There are 3 different brass bands in 3 different communities founded by different saleisans in the sudan delegation in Khartoum, El obeid and Tonj. The group of El Obeid got invited to London a few years ago but could not make the trip but right now, there is a joyful moment for the the band group of Tonj which the other 2 bands can share in. Congratulations!!
