Ice cream dates announced; thanks from Nairobi

Let’s Do Ice Cream fundraisers have been set for the summer. Enjoy sundaes from 3 to 4 p.m. June 4 and Aug. 13 and root beer floats from 3 to 4 p.m. July 16.

Brother Paulos Welday Mesmer, director of Christ the Teacher Institute for Education in Nairobi, thanked the SMU community for donations that were raised at Let’s Do Lunch, Jeans for a Cause and other fundraisers throughout the year.

“Thanks for the wonderful news. You know, I have four students whom I was not sure whether they will be able to graduate this coming May. They have struggled as much as they could to raise tuition funds but they were defeated. The harsh realities of poverty! This is a great news that you are sharing. These four students will now be able to graduate.

“Many thanks to you and to all of the people of good heart who have indeed worked hard to brighten/change someone’s life/fortune forever.”
