Graduation Celebration

Trip description:

This year at PathLight we’re breaking with tradition a little bit to celebrate our graduates, their amazing accomplishments, and the generous team that helped get them to graduation. We’re saving the caps-and-gowns and most of the speeches for other ceremonies. This summer, sponsors, students and staff will gather for a celebration on Belize’s beautiful beach at Hopkins Bay to share stories, encourage the grads in their next steps, play some games together, and give a lot of thanks for the wonderful work God is doing in these future Belizean leaders. There will be just enough ceremony to be sure we are honoring these incredible successes, and more than enough fun to make memories together for a lifetime.
