After graduating from Columbia, 22 year old Isang Smith is spending three months in Guanajuato. When she’s not in school studying Spanish or out on the trail with her biking buddies, Isang will be doing something incredibly memorable and life changing: she will be teaching one of the girls, Isabel, how to read and write. Isabel has never had the opportunity to attend school. So with Isang's help, Isabel will be well on her way to gaining one of the most important skills she can have, literacy. Carol is new to Buen Pastor. She's been there for three weeks. At first the adjustment was really hard for her. She missed her friends and family and didn't know how to fit in. Since the madres put such an emphasis on school, she realised that she might as well buckle down and study. She shares that doing so has changed her perspective on school and what it means to be educated. She's no longer sad. Now she is set on doing the best that she can in school in hopes that it will lead to University. |
