Stay tuned as we post photos of our completed mural and photos of our Union Square event. For the exhibition, we are featuring the artwork of girls at Buen Pastor, a convent run by seven sisters in the heartland of Mexico and Givology partner. As an "internado" for girls (a foster-home of sorts), Buen Pastor provides protection from poverty and family crises. Katie Clancy and Margaret Lawlace - two volunteers at the convent - have worked with the girls to produce artwork for our exhibition to capture the girls' perspectives of their world. We have posted a preview here.

Thanks so much for your support and interest in our project! The goal of our "Make Your Mark on the World" campaign is to inspire action. We've commissioned a painting of the world from Gigapixel Creative's Joseph Kilraine and we'll have bystanders at Union Square place their own handprints on the map to indicate areas of the world they want to help.
Based on the distribution of the handprints that we collect, we will allocate 100% of the funding we raise to our students, schools, and projects throughout the world.
We're taking pledges in the form of (1) donations per handprint that we collect, (2) any donations to support the campaign. Your contribution goes a long way!
