Hopis are abruptly losing their primary heat source with closure of the coal mines on the Colorado Plateau this year. We are working with Hopi village leaders to help fund firewood deliveries to families and seniors who lack the means to obtain firewood (due to low cash income and/or transportation and tools to do wood cutting). It costs about $1,100 per household to supply 3 cords of juniper firewood for the winter. Compounding the challenge, many families do not have the right type of stove to burn firewood.We have a Paypal link and info on where to mail a check at https://www.crossingworlds.org.

Bwindi Community Program is asking for help with sponsorships for students who have lost sponsors recently. Situations change, death interrupts the plans, etc. of sponsors who have taken students many years toward a bright future. There currently is a student in Midwifery school for whom there is no support for her final two years. A secondary student needs funds for her last two years in high school. Unlike sponsors who take on a student for up to ten years, these are short term needs. These students are close to the end of their studies. Help at this point is key to their futures. SW rural Uganda is poverty stricken and these students are almost independent. Help them to complete their studies. Visit BwindiCommunityProgram.org "The Children" page for one student's story or call Jan Tanis at 928-204-1135 for more information on either student. You can make a terrific difference!

Verde Valley Food Project is looking for more Neighborhood Coordinators. It’s amazingly simple to be a Neighborhood Coordinator. Neighborhood Coordinators organize a small group of neighbors to be Food Donors. Each donor gets a reusable green bag to store food in. Every two months NC's pick up their donors full bags and leave an empty one for next time. On collection day, NC's pick up their donors bags and bring all the bags to a drop-off point at the Safeway/ReMax parking lot in West Sedona, where volunteers receive and sort it the food.Being a Neighborhood Coordinator takes only an hour or two every other a month! You might need to put a little more time in at the beginning, when you’re building your neighborhood. But it’s a surprisingly small time commitment, considering how big a difference you’ll be making.
That’s it. As you meet more neighbors and other NCs, your sense of community will grow, and it will add as much to your life as you will be adding to others’ lives. It’s something to look forward to.

Volunteer companions provide company and assistance to neighbors while family caregivers take a much-needed break. The volunteer companions are not expected to provide nursing care or personal hygiene assistance.A current volunteer, Tony Isolda, learned about VVCC respite care when his wife was very ill. She got so much out of the visits that when she passed away, he decided he would like to give the gift of respite to others. In 2016 he volunteered with VVCC as a respite care giver.
When he goes to meet with a neighbor, he often brings some kind of treat. He said, “They’re lonely and want to talk.” One person he cares for, Donald, is 95. When Tony visits Donald they play games, read and have an enjoyable time. It gives Tony a good feeling about how his visits lift other’s spirits. From experience Tony says, “Those visits are better than a million bucks to a neighbor.”
To volunteer call (928) 204-1238 or email the Verde Valley Caregivers at operations@vvcaregivers.org. Tony is willing to talk to anyone who is interested in volunteering to answer questions about what it is like.

Thanks to everyone who has helped create this wonderful study and research space on a rural campus in SW Uganda. The community and the 650 students who board at Bishop Comboni Secondary School are SO appreciative. The first phase; seating for 64 with 10 computers and books on the shelves, will be enlarged to allow 157 to study here soon. When the second phase of the furnishings arrive, we need to pay the manufacturer the balance owed of $1,992. It is a tiny fraction of the investment to date. It is so close to being installed. A donation now will help with the final bill for the furniture. Please contact Jan Tanis to pay by check or go to http//:BwindiCommunityProgram.org and the "Other Donations" page will guide you through payment online. We will also add more computers over time.

Verde Valley Caregivers wishes to enrich your life. Here is an example from one of our volunteers:Hank Culbertson joined VVCC as a volunteer driver in June 2014. After reading an article in the paper about VVCC he decided that transporting “neighbors” was his calling. Hank enjoys getting to know the neighbors and hearing their life stories. He particularly likes the long trips and frequently travels from Verde Valley communities to Flagstaff. He’s taken neighbors as far as Phoenix. The work also gives him the opportunity to do something for somebody else. Hank says, “I want to drive for Caregivers as long as I can.”
VVCC needs more volunteer drivers and volunteers to make friendly visits and respite assistance. Volunteers decide when, where and how often they wish to volunteer. Visit https://vvcaregivers.org/volunteer-opportunities or call (928) 204-1238 to enrich your life and others, too.

Hooray to all of you who have helped get us SO close. In six weeks, the school will be asked for $1,992 to pay for the balance of the order. The students will have an entire E-Library full of tables and chairs for their study time and computer research. Please help us in the final step.

Help Wanted at Red Rose Inspiration For Animals
We are a very small volunteer based organization that makes a huge difference in the community by offering FREE spay and neuter services to pet owners that are financially challenged while low cost spay and neuter is barely even offered for over a year now in this community and can be costly to pet owners on a budget costing up to $100.00 per animal based on weight.
We also provide emergency vet care and help with surgeries for seniors living on a fixed income helping them get their animal companion the urgent care they need and deserve.
We have a TNR (Trap Neuter and Release Program) for ferals that we provide medical care when needed, alter and vaccinate.
We are in the process of opening a new location for our thrift store in addition to our other location. This Red Rose Barkin Basement will have furniture, linens, wall art and much more.
We need people who want to work in our retail thrift for the Red Rose Thriftique and the Red Rose Barkin Basement in the Village of Oak Creek on the sales floor

The new E-Library on the secondary school campus in rural Uganda is almost open. Just a bit more cleanup! We appreciate all those who helped make this possible. To complete the facility, we are raising funds for much needed textbooks and research books. The rural students cannot afford to purchase books for their courses. They use the shared texts in classrooms but must leave them behind when the class is over. In this new study space for 64 students, it will be wonderful to have appropriate texts available for them to use. The cost for books ranges from $10 to $150 each. You can provide a gift to this E-Library that will bolster education half-way around the globe. Go to BwindiCommunityProgram.org or call Jan Tanis at 928-204-1135 to donate.
