Partnership Helps Poor Natives in Arizona
Giving Children Hope partnered with La Sierra University students to provide medicines to a development project they are assisting in Arizona. The students are working with the nonprofit Project Pueblo aid members of the Navajo Nation existing on a section of the reservation called ‘Bennett Freeze.’ Darla Martin Tucker from the university reports that “the Navajo in this area, a region banned to development, housing construction or repair for decades, have been living in dilapidated houses, trailers and hogans, many of which have no running water, natural gas or electricity. In some cases dwellings are located near old uranium mines that many believe may have been leaking radiation, poisoning water tables and soil.”
The medicines will treat the residents of that impoverished area.
