Who was William Morris?

He Evangelical Schools Day It is celebrated every September 15, for the death of William Morris, a teacher, evangelical Anglican pastor, philanthropist and founder and initiator of evangelical schools and institutes in Argentina.

Over the course of her life, Morris administered 32 institutions reaching 250,000 children, with an estimated 50,000 more children recorded unofficially.

He lived in the La Boca neighborhood, a completely neglected place and a symbol of poverty in those years. The impact of the social and cultural situation that surrounded him moved his Christian vocation in favor of abandoned children, which would turn him into a teacher and guide for children and young people.

With the little money he had in 1888, he rented a small, run-down tenement to open a humble dining room for street children.

In that same place he opened a Sunday school which he personally took care of, paying the salary of a young teacher out of his own pocket during the week and taking charge of religious instruction himself on Sundays. The children would receive “bread for the body and soul”.
