Givology Gallery Exhibition to feature artwork of students from Buen Pastor, Guanajuato, Mexico
The girls at Buen Pastor, who live at the convent during the week, come from broken homes and poverty. Many have been raised by single mothers. Others have experienced violence in their homes. To help these girls escape both violence and poverty, Buen Pastor ensures each girl receives an education. Buen Pastor provides them with a safe place to live, food, and an education. Since the families are unable to fully support their children, Buen Pastor pays for tuition fees and uniforms, among other things. The nuns who work here believe the most effective way of taking a girl away from violence is through education.
