Schoolgirls asking for prayers

Since last Thursday, we have kept crossing paths with a group of schoolgirls from Madrid who are walking the last part of the Camino.
Some tragic news for them has been that one of the girls from the school was injured in a stampede in a Halloween party:

The girls asked us for our prayers for the family.

The school that some of them attend is:
