Pledge for 2017: Help Leah Become a Public Interest Lawyer!

Leah loves her 7th grade science class and wants to be a lawyer.

leah1

“I like learning about the human body. I want to learn more about how my body works. How organs process food and your lungs help you breathe.” Leah said.

When Leah grows up she wants to be a lawyer.  “I want to help people equally. Rich and poor. Today there are corrupt lawyers that don’t help people equally. They want a lot of money so poor people can’t afford a lawyer. So the poor people don’t get any representation. When I’m a lawyer I will have a small farm to pay my bills – so I don’t have to charge the poor people.”

Daylight is helping Leah learn the science she needs for her farm. And her teachers have instilled in her a passion for serving those in need.

Will you pledge to give $50 a month to support one Daylight student like Leah for a month? Or will you stretch to give the $1,000 that it takes to provide food for all Daylight students and staff for a month?

Whatever amount you give, we will put it to use quickly for Daylight’s students. There are a few ways you can make your 2017 pledged donation:

1.  Fill out the online pledge form and contact Elodie at info@daylightcenter.org for information on making recurring gifts through your bank’s bill pay system.

Daylight Center & School
P.O. 50433, St. Paul, MN 55104

2. You can give online through PayPal at daylightcenter.org/support-us

Thank you for helping Leah grow and learn. Their friendship is possible because of your support.

Pledge for 2017: Help Eunice Become a Great Nurse

Eunice is in 6th grade at Daylight and she is curious about everything.4-euniceShe loves learning about how cow’s milk gives people energy in science class, she studies hard in Swahili class because she believes “learning our national language will help people from different tribes become one Kenyan people.” She wants to combine her talents to be a nurse so she can help people. And she is already well on her way.

When Eunice says she wants to be a nurse her friend Magdalene smiles. “Last month I got really sick with chest pain and had to go to the doctor. And Eunice agreed to come with me because I was scared. And as I was sitting in the hospital, she put her hand on my chest and asked me how I was feeling.” 4-magdelene-with-euniceMagdalene pauses and smiles wide. “My friend Eunice will be a very good nurse.” 4-magdalene-wangeci

Sending Love from Minnesota to Kenya and Back Again!

Daylight students consider it a point of pride that they have friends in America. That people from the other side of the world care about them enough to help them go to school and send them encouraging letters.

This last month we were so excited to see that two of our partner churches held events in support of Daylight.  The children of House of Mercy Church in St. Paul helped in their church’s gift market and made these SUPER CUTE signs sending their love and support to our students in Kenya!

And the families at First Presbyterian in Stillwater held an alternative gift market to support Daylight!

To House of Mercy, Stillwater, and to all of you who help make their education possible, the Daylight students want to send back a big “Jambo! Thank you very much!”
