Ray of Sunshine Ministry Uses Green Boxes to Bring STEM Education to Foster Children and Homeschool Families

Tiffany Morales, Founder and President of Ray of Sunshine Ministry, is bringing STEM education to foster children and homeschool students in Southern Nevada. Morales founded Ray of Sunshine Ministry in 2022, recognizing a need for academic support for children in foster care and homeschool families.

This year, Ray of Sunshine is utilizing Green Boxes to provide STEM and robotics programs to these groups. Morales said, “With DRI’s service, we’re able to provide excellent robotics programs to homeschool groups and foster care facilities, absolutely free of cost to us and to them.” Ray of Sunshine Ministry is hosting two robotics events in Las Vegas – a free event for Child Haven, a temporary foster care facility in Las Vegas, on November 9 and a Homeschool Conference and Robotics event on November 15, 2024.

Morales recently made a philanthropic gift to the Green Boxes program. When asked what inspired her to donate, she said “DRI created a very thorough, fun, and comprehensive program in each kit that allows nonprofits and organizations to provide an excellent educational experience for the children we serve at low to no cost. To me, it’s a no brainer to give back.”

Thank you to Tiffany Morales and Ray of Sunshine Ministry for their support of the DRI STEM Education Program and their work to bring STEM education to foster children and homeschool families in Las Vegas.
