Spring Mission Trip

This past fall, we received word that there was a young Navajo family in drastic need of there house being weathered in. You could sit inside and look to the outside through the roof and side walls. For those who have never been out on the Reservation, the winter is very cold and windy and not much protection. Our team went out in late April to get them weathered in. Another team went out in May to work on the inside. They had no electric or running water which is the case for about 56% of those on the reservation. We couldn't do anything about the water but did get electricity to them and a new metal roof and also wrapped the house and put new T-111 siding on. This is a family of 7 with another one on the way. The house is less than 400 sq. ft.. Here are a few before and after photos.

Amazing transformation. The group has helped a native family for winters to come.
I wish I could have been there to help!

It's heart warming to see this sort of community compassion. It's so rarely seen nowadays.
But it is also viewed as it should be an embarrassment to the govts.
Not everyone can be an entrepreneur, some are not able to lift themselves from destitution without help.
In this modern, wealthy western world, it's a disgrace that govts allow this to happen. Welfare seems a dirty word to them.

Perhaps. Also, personal responsibility must come into play. There will soon be another child. For a total of six children. To me, that is the pressing problem. What about these children?
What this group did is wonderful. Sadly there is a greater problem. That one takes more than they can provide for.

Thank you again everyone for your comments. Really not looking for a pat on the back, although greatly appreciated. Just wanted to bring attention to some of the living conditions on these Native American Reservations. As far as raising a big family, family is important to them and many live in family camps as does this family, so they do have support from other members of the camp. There are about 6 families in this family camp.
