A Guanajuato Convent
Update: Letter of thanks from Madre Lourdes
This summer, Juanita Benedicto and Kelly Cook will be spending one month working at a convent in Guanajuato, Mexico. The convent is divided into two parts: an orphanage for girls ages 5-15, and a women's shelter. We'll be cleaning, cooking, painting, helping out with the girls and the women, teaching the nuns massage, and anything else that needs doing.
The nuns run this social service on faith alone. There is no steady source of reliable income. Nor are there benefactors. We're hoping to raise $500 by June 10th to bring as a donation to help support the work that these nuns have committed their lives to.

How you can donate. . .
- Drop by Juanita's office, #269 Center - in the LCC Library, or send a check via campus mail.
