Christmas Giving on Hopi

12/8/2021

 
There are three projects for Hopi this Christmas: a village Christmas event, food certificates for elderly, and bringing solar lights to families with limited or no electricity.

Shungopavi Christmas Event We took part in a financial way for a special village Christmas party on Saturday, December 18. This is a village on Second Mesa that has lost several elders the last 2 years, so this is very timely
Adopt an Elder We assisted 14 Hopi elderly with $100+ food certificates from the Kykotsmovi and Keams Canyon store. The elders live in the villages of Bacavi, Old Oraibi, Kykotsmovi, Shungopavi, and Keams Canyon 
 
Solar Lights We will also be providing personal solar lights to families with limited power as well as to the main kivas in different villages.

See what your donations are doing in a remote part of the world!

The Chang Po are a nomadic Tibetan tribe living in the high altitude Tibetan Plateau in western and northern Tibet (China) extending into southeastern Ladakh, India. At altitudes between 14,000 and 19,000 feet, this area has vast highlands and giant lakes. 

L-----g  has a heart for this people group. Although he really wants me (Jack) to go with him, it's our great privilege to supply him with supplies each time he goes. This time we provided over $1,000 USD which he used to purchase food and supplies for almost 40 families (approximately 120+ people) in this village. Each family received about 90 pounds of food as well as oil, salt, sugar, ginger, tea. Although it rained and snowed when they arrived, nothing was lost.

And they are still using the solar lights we gave 2 years ago! 👍 Thank you again for making this possible!

LuminAID Solar Lights

We've distributed a large quantity of solar lights from LuminAID over the last few years!! They've been a great partner and have given us a great price for the lights through our non-profit! Check out their website at https://luminaid.com.

Jemez Piki House

4/20/2021

 
The Piki House project in the Jemez Pueblo is nearing completion! Teamwork: we've raised the money and they've provided all the labor. This building will be used to preserve the art of making piki bread and traditional pottery making. The Jemez School will also use it in their Cultural Preservation classes.

Adopt an Elder Spotlight

4/8/2021

 
Bertha Kinale

​Bertha, a member of the Coyote Clan, was the first person we met on the Hopi Reservation 27 years ago. She lives in Walpi and is now 95 years old! We sent her a special delivery of essential (and not so essential :-) items. Her daughter, Connie, wrote back saying she was very happy about thinking of her this way! 

For many years she would always be in Sichomovi and Walpi on First Mesa selling her pottery (sample below).

Join us with our Hopi Library Project. Due to Covid limitations and restrictions, the Hopi tribe is eliminating parts of the Library. We’ve been very involved with Dinah and the mobile library and will continue to help.

Needed are: minor construction, library shelves, equipment to go virtual, etc.

Click here to donate. Your entire gift will go to the RestoringTouch Hopi Library Project. Thank you!
