Service:
At a recent high school chapel, the Landmark student body raised $1250 for senior Mary-Michael McCathren's Unite for Uniforms! Mary-Michael started this nonprofit after learning that all for the lack of a simple school uniform, Kenyan children risked the horrors of human trafficking because they were not able to attend school without one. Between that offering, a generous donation from Mr. Parsons, and the money Mary-Michael has made selling t-shirts she designed, the Kenya Mission Team will take about $2000 with them later this month when they travel to Kenya . That will send almost 300 Kenyan children to school! You will be able to learn more about Mary-Michael and her heart for service in the upcoming issue of Landmark magazine.
