When school teacher Vanessa told us her school raised $3000 for Buen Pastor in October, Hispanic Heritage Month, we were overjoyed! $3000 goes a very, very long way at Buen Pastor. To make things even better, Vanessa personally hand delivered the money and spent time with the girls today. Thank you Vanessa! And thank you everyone at The Kinkaid School in Houston, Texas, for reaching out to us. We love you!

Ari and her two daughters came to Buen Pastor in the summer of 2009. After living and healing at the shelter for 5 months, Ari found work as a housekeeper and a place to live. Since she works during the day, she placed her daughters at Buen Pastor so they can go to school and are always supervised. It's a sacrifice a loving mother must make, not being with her daughters, but they are together on the weekends. One day, they'll be in the same home all the time. Buen Pastor is their stepping stone to forming a healthy, united family. Our recent Picture Book fund drive was a huge success! Thanks to some very special folks, the library has more than doubled. The girls love to read. They sit in groups and read to one another. Others walk with their books, reading silently to themselves. They go through each one of the books and then start over again. Madre Berta reminds the girls to treat the books with care as they are a treasure. |
