In July, 2023, I will be heading to South Dakota to volunteer with the Sicangu Rosebud Sioux or to Montana to volunteer with the Blackfeet. Todd County, comprising the Rosebud Reservation, is the second poorest county in the nation. And, having volunteered with the Blackfeet for the last two years, they hold a very special place in my heart.
While working with the Blackfeet, I spent most of my time at Eagle Shield, their senior living center. I helped prepare, serve, or deliver their daily lunch to the Blackfeet elders. I also volunteered at their food pantry. There I prepared and delivered food boxes. The Blackfeet share the food throughout the county to anyone who is in need - even if they are not Blackfeet. If Global Volunteers is able to line up the logistics for the Rosebud reservation, I anticipate fulfilling a similar role.
The tribal community really touched me. They try really hard to look out for one another - especially the tribal elders. I am looking forward to going back and seeing and working with the Sicangu Rosebud Sioux for the first time or the Blackfeet community again. Your donation will help me offset my program costs. I appreciate your support.
By supporting volunteers' efforts, you contribute directly to the future success of children in partner communities. Your generous donation to your chosen volunteer ensures that these services continue year-round. Thank you for making this investment in the future of our world - our children!
