ENLIGHTENING THE DARK (ETD) is a program that was created by two local homeschool graduates over the past two years. Bryanna Ruesche and Kennedy Moore started with small classes in theatre and ASL (Sign Language) and these classes have grown into an outreach that is unique and purposeful. They want to do more and they want to do non-profit work that benefit students. So ETD has officially become a flagship Student Outreach Program of Homeschool CARE Foundation. Both Kennedy and Bryanna will be heading up their own programs in Therapeutic Arts and Deaf Advocacy through ETD. The foundation of these programs is to reach hurting people and to create solutions for the struggles that they feel and to then teach awareness to others through the arts and through advocacy. The name “Enlightening the Dark” was created through much thought and prayer encompassing all that these programs intended to create and pursue for students and the community. The “Dark” can present itself in many ways…bullying, fear, anxiety, grief, solitude, lack of being understood… ETD has a focus of “Enlightening” the darkness through communication, study of the arts, advocacy and awareness.
