PathLight 2020

The year 2020 is just around the corner. No doubt we’re going to hear a lot of 20/20 jokes this week! But in a remarkable effort of restraint (for me), I’ll avoid the easy joke. Instead, I want to share the thoughts of my friend and colleague Roger Dermody.

PathLight helps children in rural Belize receive an education. When you join us as a donor, a volunteer, a prayer partner or all of these, you are lighting the fire of a child’s passion and potential for the rest of their lives.
