Today is Every Child’s Birthday at our schools!

Many of the children in our care don't know their exact birthday or have never celebrated a birthday before. That’s why August 15th is our official day to shower every single boy & girl in our Boystowns and Girlstowns with modest gifts, special meals, games, and love.

Happy Birthday to every amazing student in our care and to the alumni of the Sisters of Mary schools!

We are preparing for one of our biggest moments in the year! Every Child’s Birthday is just around the corner and the Sisters are hard at work packing up gifts for every child and planning a day full of games and celebration to make sure every child feels loved and valued.

If you haven’t yet had chance to support, you can make a child’s day by giving a birthday gift this 15 August.

This week, our schools in Mexico welcomed 1,800 new children into their first year of secondary school. 1,800 more children have a chance to live free from poverty and have a brighter future! This reminds us of the massive scale of poverty in Mexico and we continue to work hard to help children in extremely vulnerable circumstances access a free, quality education and care.

This week, we handed out thousands of notebooks, pens, pencils, uniforms, bags, shoes, and clothing items to children in need as they entered our schools for the first time. This is only possible through the generous donations from people like you so please consider supporting these children with a donation today!

Happy International Day of Friendship! At our schools, children spend every day together in family groups. As they grow up side by side, friendships aren’t just made, they are built to last a lifetime. That’s the kind of friendship we’re proud to celebrate today.

Chess is one of the hobbies that our children enjoy most. It is incredibly beneficial for their development; enhancing their focus & concentration. It develops other key skills such as strategic planning and problem solving, which will stand them in good stead for their studies and their future after graduation.
