Some of Darah’s students remembering her in the ways that they know how. Taken outside the Darah Farris Memorial Vegetable Garden at the Child-Care Center.

Our mission is two-fold.  Preserve the memory of our beloved Darah and to help provide schooling to the inner-city children that she so passionately and tenderly cared for and taught at the childcare center where she worked for eight years.

The children from this child-care center and in the surrounding neighborhoods are full of joy and a zest for life.  They have been given many gifts in this life, and it is our intention to help them nurture their talents, passions, and dreams and help them come to fruition.  It’s what our Darah would have wanted for them.
