SPONSOR SR. YAZMÍN

“Our children do not give up, they never give up, no matter how difficult the fight is, they keep going, they persevere because they trust God.”

I am Sister Yazmin, a Mother Sister in Girlstown, Villa de los Niñas, in Chalco, Mexico where we care for almost 3,500 girls. I am a proud graduate of this great program and have served as a Sister of Mary since 2011.

I was as a student at Girlstown, Villa de los Niñas, in Chalco, Mexico where I received the sacraments of Christian initiation, grew, developed, and strengthened in the spiritual realm. One of the things that touches my heart the most and that renews my vocation is to be able to see in each child my own story. Many times, their stories are even more difficult than mine. I think about the change in life that awaits them in all areas: physical, moral, academic, spiritual, and material. I see with great hope a better future for them.

My favorite saint is Saint John Paul II, often said to young people, “Do not be afraid, open your doors wide to Christ.” I aways seek to teach the children to be grateful for the opportunities that are given to them, to fight with courage and effort for that goal they want to achieve, and to always give the best of themselves and never give up, always trusting in God.

Everything is possible for those who have faith because I know in whom I have put my trust. “I can do everything in Christ who strengthens me.”

THE SISTERS OF MARY

The Sisters of Mary are devoted to helping the poorest of the poor in Asia, Latin America and Africa. The religious order was founded by Aloysius Schwartz, the priest of the poor. The Sisters have been operating charitable programs for more than fifty years serving children with the greatest need who have the greatest potential.

It is not enough to give the poor food and clothing. They need education that gives them the skills to build a dignified existence for themselves.”

– Fr. Aloysius Schwartz, founder
