Enjoy a spirited moment from Daylight's Pastoral Program!
Each Friday Daylight students gather for worship. Head Teacher Paul Okiyah explains that the "Pastoral Program Institute" is an initiative of The Ministry of Education focused experiences that enable students across Kenya to worship together from a variety of religious traditions.
While a majority of students at Daylight are Christian, Teacher Paul says that Muslim students, with approval from their parents, participate in the 35 minute worship experiences. The worship focuses on spiritual and moral values.
At Daylight, students worship in groups so age appropriate content can be shared. Depending on the age of students, the worship incorporates music, Bible readings and preaching.
Thanks to Head Teacher Paul for sharing information about the Pastoral Program Institute. Thanks also to School Manager, Reuben Losharipo for providing the video!

MY EXPERIENCE AT DAYLIGHT MODEL SCHOOL
Today I meet my school director.
And I want to share with you the following stories.

I joined daylight at grade 3, upon reference from my Aunty Mrs. Tomeyan and studied until grade 8.
In 2017 I did my end of elementary national exam (Kenya Certificate of primary education) where I emerged the first student in West Pokot County with 421/500.
I was the best in the county. I beat all boys and girls. I stunned the world. All television stations in Kenya covered my story. I am a proud girl and a role model for all girls in the Nomadic region.
And to our friends and supporters in the US we are grateful to you all.
May God bless you immensely.
So far about 1000 and counting have gone through Daylight and proceeded to tertiary education, colleges and Universities.

As I write, I am in Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and technology (JKUAT) pursuing bachelor of Business information Technology.
My ambition is that when I finish university, I would wish to work for the cooperate world or the government of Kenya.
God help me Lord. Beside me I am only a drop in the ocean. There are so many girls and boys out there who need the opportunity that I have had.

Love you all,
Leah Chepkemoi

Below is the story of hope and restoration. It’s about Charity, a new student at Daylight. Our Technology teacher Mercy tells her story:
“Charity and her family lived peacefully in laikipia county. Then around last year as you know the pokot community are pastrolist , and they have to wander around for greener pastures for their cattle in the process they came across a closed ranch i think they tried to let their cattle graze there unfortunately it was a private property and it led to clashes. Unfortunately Charity's father and mother were shot and they both died. Luckily they had a step mum so she had to escape with kids without knowing an exact destination,, in the process the found themselves in Narok county where they did menial jobs for a while and things went south the Maasai community fought again with the pokots forcing them to migrate again a good Samaritan whom he had hosted them advised them to escape to west pokot since they could find peace over there and she offerd them some petty cash for their transportation,, they travelled all the way to Kitale then to Kapenguria unfortunately their transport fees couldn't enable them reach their destination they arrived at a place called Aruba there they were received by good Samaritan again who hosted them while they did menial jobs until one day someone told them about Daylight and thats how she ended here, Angelina gave her some uniforms, books and daylight staff did a mini fundraising and we bought her all the essentials for boarding.”

Daylight Co-Founder Nathan Roberts to be Ordained!

The US Board of Daylight Center and School are excited to share the news of Daylight Co-founder Nathan Robert’s ordination into the Christian Ministry on Sunday, February 19th at 2:30pm (central time USA). The service of ordination will be held at Edina Morningside Community Church, United Church of Christ. The service will be co-led by representatives of Edina Morningside Church, the Minnesota Conference of the United Church of Christ and First Lutheran Church of Columbia Heights where Nathan serves as Director of Community Engagement.

The US Daylight Board of Directors join Nathan in inviting members of the Daylight family to be part of the ordination and reception following the service. Masks are strongly encouraged for the event. Edina Morningside Community Church is located at 4201 Morningside Rd, Edina, MN. 55416. Of special interest to our Daylight School community is that the church is an enthusiastic supporter of the school! Members of the church are looking forward to a trip to Daylight School in the summer of 2024.

Following Nathan’s ordination he will continue to serve as Director of Community Engagement at First Lutheran Church in Columbia Heights, MN.

If you are unable to attend the ordination but want to send a greeting of well wishes to Nathan, you may send it to Edina Morningside Community Church prior to the service.

Best wishes to Nathan at this sacred and celebratory point on his faith journey!
