THE GIRLS SCHOOL OF AUSTIN SUPPORTS LOCAL WOMEN AND GIRLS ON INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE GIRL

To honor the International Day of the Girl on October 11, The Girls School of Austin held a Personal Care Supply Drive benefitting women and girls in the Austin Area. Students, faculty, and staff donated baby supplies, sanitary products, and hair care during this one-day drive.
Most of the products collected went to Posada Esperanza a shelter for women and children serving displaced immigrants escaping from violence. The GSA’s 8th grade is partnered with Posada Esperanza for a year-long service-learning project and they delivered the supplies during their monthly volunteer visit. Remaining supplies were donated to the SAFE Alliance.
