“Ts’ídá nitsáago ‘áhxéhee’ yéego baa ‘ahééh daniidzin nihikah anaajáhígíí.”
“Thank you very much, those of you who continue to help us, we appreciate it very much.”
Naabeehó elders
When it comes to living in beauty (Hózhó) it is not only through mind, body and spirit. Hózhó is also obtained by having a well maintained home and surroundings. And when a home is in disarray, Naabeehó elders don’t feel that sense of Hózhó, that sense of completeness.
Through their many completed projects, Sierra Service Project has made it possible for my Naabeehó elders to return to Hózhó.
“Nihihooghan dóó nihináágóó Hózhó Náhasdlíí’, ahxéhee.”
“Beauty has been restored to our home and within our surroundings. Thank you.”
Editor’s Note: SSP has received a generous grant from the Bruce & Diane Halle Foundation, which allows us to complete many more challenging construction projects than in previous years. We are very grateful! There are still spaces available most weeks in Tsaile, AZ for groups and individuals interested in serving during summer 2017.
