Arco Iris is a group of Mexican, American, and Canadian women who have been helping underprivileged children in Guanajuato for the past 21 years. Every Thursday, members of Arco Iris come to Buen Pastor to provide three hours of sewing classes with the women in the shelter. The items the women sew are sold at sales in the jardin three or four times a year. The money made goes to the women when they leave the shelter to set up their new homes. Arco Iris is paying for one woman who was at the shelter 7 years ago to go to computer school. In 2009, they sponsored the school tuition of a child of a former resident at the shelter. In addition, they host a Christmas party every year for the children at the shelter and continue to donate money for milk and food for the girls at the internado. Buen Pastor is very lucky to have these dedicated women share their time, energy, money and compassion with them!
