1
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: What would you talk about on your on your podcast

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:16,319
Speaker 1: firm Elvis Morning Show. I love it when we have

3
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: visitors from way across the country and from Saint bonaventrore

4
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: Mission in school in thorough, New Mexico. I'm saying it right.

5
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: It's thorough, not thorough.

6
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 2: It's actually through.

7
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: I always get it wrong.

8
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 3: It's the rue.

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,279
Speaker 1: It's exactly if you go to If you go there,

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: they'll tell you you're saying it wrong. It's the rue.

11
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: But I still say it wrong because well obviously it's

12
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: not there there, because that's how they say it. Anyway,

13
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: from a Saint Bonaventure Mission and school in Thorrough, New Mexico,

14
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: we're pleased to have Chris Halter and Thurmon Jones, both

15
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: from Saint Bonaventure Mission in school. Welcome to New York guys.

16
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: Thank you, you know, being of course a New Mexican,

17
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: New Mexico resident as well. I don't know why would

18
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: you want to come to New York? Do you do?

19
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: You do you get tired of peace and quiet and tranquility?

20
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: Do you need this mess?

21
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: We actually loved going back to New Mexico after we visited.

22
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: I can imagine you know what Nate was visiting a

23
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: Saint Bonaventure not that long ago, and he came back.

24
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: Dare I say, changed you were? You had this new

25
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: outlook on what's going on in our country, especially with

26
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: a nah Noveljoe Nation, and at Saint Bonaventure, tell me

27
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: what your feelings were in Nate, what you saw and

28
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: how you felt.

29
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 3: I gotta say.

30
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 4: Chris and Thurman, they rolled out the red carpet for

31
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 4: me when I got there. Okay, So I was just

32
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 4: expecting to go there and do a little quick tour

33
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 4: and see what Saint Bonaventure was all about. I show

34
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 4: up to the school and I'm like, okay, you know,

35
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 4: we're walking through the school and we're seeing where the

36
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 4: students sit, and we're going through the gymnasium and they

37
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 4: made this huge band greeting me and you elvis to

38
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 4: Saint Bonaventure. And I'm like, well, where are all the

39
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 4: students And Chris looks at me and goes, well, we

40
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 4: have a surprise for you. And they're waiting in the

41
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 4: chapel and they want to sing you a song. And

42
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 4: when I tell you, I was you know, I'm not

43
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 4: a very emotional guy. I was fighting back tears because

44
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 4: all of these children had taken the time to learn

45
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 4: a song to sing to me, and I just, you know,

46
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 4: I'm really kind of getting tongue tied because they just

47
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 4: took the time to do that for me. And we're

48
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 4: such a big part of their day. So many of

49
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 4: the families that are part of Saint Bonaventure and a

50
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 4: part of the Navajo Nation, they listen to us every day.

51
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 4: I had so many people come up and say, oh

52
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 4: my god, can you give Gandhi a hug for me?

53
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 4: Can you give Danielle a hug?

54
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: Say I love her laugh?

55
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 4: And we are such a part of their day and

56
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 4: their life out there. It just dawned on me that

57
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 4: we actually do something, you know, for people, right like

58
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 4: what we do here in this little room matters to people.

59
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 4: And they showed their appreciation to me.

60
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: And all that you didn't give us hugs, making it

61
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 1: for lost time. So, Chris, I would love for you

62
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: to explain to anyone and everyone who may not know

63
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: what Saint Bonaventure is all about and how important it

64
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: is to the Navajo families who are in need uh

65
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: talk about it. Talk about the story that's coming out

66
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: of that area of New Mexico and that we all

67
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: need to know about here in the United States.

68
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: So Saint Bonaventure is now celebrating fifty years in existence,

69
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: and it is a Catholic organization, but we serve anybody

70
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: and everybody, but the primary outside of education, because education

71
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: is so important to end poverty. If you can get

72
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 2: people educated, they can move on and get out of poverty.

73
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: But some of the interesting things that hold people back

74
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 2: is the Navajo reservation is the size of West Virginia,

75
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: and it has twenty five grocery.

76
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 5: Stores, no fourteen.

77
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: Grocery stores on the entire reservation the size of the

78
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: state of West Virginia. And so to go to a

79
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: grocery store, it's sixty to one hundred and twenty miles

80
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: round trip just to get food. The other thing is

81
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 2: forty percent of the Navajo families have zero access to

82
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: any type of running water. And one of the interesting

83
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 2: things is that an average American household uses one hundred

84
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: and twenty five to one hundred and fifty gallons of

85
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 2: water a day. The Navajo families that we serve have

86
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 2: to live on forty gallons of water a day, and

87
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: the only way they get that water is we have

88
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 2: water trucks that deliver water five days a week to

89
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 2: over two hundred and fifty families, and we also bring

90
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 2: water on the railroad during times of you know, greater need,

91
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,679
Speaker 2: and so we have these giant twenty thousand gallon tanker

92
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 2: cars that come on the railroad and we fill up

93
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 2: our water trucks and take it out.

94
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 4: There is water not accessible there, like is there no

95
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 4: water source there or what is the reasoning for not.

96
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 2: So there's no infrastructure, okay, or very limited infrastructure. Most

97
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 2: of the roads are dirt roads, as they experience.

98
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 4: So the second half of my day, I went with

99
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 4: Darlene Arviso, who is nicknamed.

100
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 3: The water Lady.

101
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 4: She drives us water truck and goes to different I

102
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 4: guess you could call homes which you know, there's no

103
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 4: electricity to a lot of them, right, didn't even have

104
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 4: you know, doors, right, It's just the infrastructure is so lacking.

105
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 4: And I think it was what a mile to the

106
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 4: first house that we went, and it took us almost

107
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 4: fifteen minutes because the roads are so bad. It just

108
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 4: takes that long to drive this truck over it. And

109
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 4: it's just astounding to me that here we are in

110
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 4: the United States of America, and.

111
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 3: This is what we have to deal with.

112
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: This is what It's incredible.

113
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 3: The people that were here before us are living with

114
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 3: and living through.

115
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 1: You know, Gandhi, you visited me in Santa Fe. It

116
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: looks Santa Fe and Albuquerque, these of course have incredible infrastructure,

117
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: but even there you're reminded every day about how precious

118
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: water is in that part of the country. For sure,

119
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: you know, it's always on the edge of drought, you

120
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: typically anyway, That's why when you guys are walking here

121
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: in New York City, I was like, there's fountains everywhere.

122
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: We're just like blowing water in the air because it's

123
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: fun when.

124
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 3: You're at your house and like you let your water

125
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 3: run and you walk away from the sink, and then

126
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 3: you come back and you like you didn't think about it,

127
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 3: Like you would never do that.

128
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 5: We don't do that. I know what I'm saying. It happens.

129
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 3: You need to think about those.

130
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: Things, you know, right, well, so imagine a world where

131
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: there is no water going to a sink.

132
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 4: There is crazy and Thurman were explaining to me that

133
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 4: when people take a bath, they save the water so

134
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 4: that then they can do.

135
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 3: Their dishes with it, you know, right, because.

136
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 4: They only have those forty gallons a day and it

137
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 4: goes really fast.

138
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: Wow.

139
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: Well yeah, I'm going to get into that. Well, this

140
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: is why we're here to help, trying to at least

141
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: at least help out until there is God help us

142
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: a way to fix this. What's going on, Thurman? What

143
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: are you feeling? What is your thought of Saint Bonaventure

144
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: and everything that we're trying to get out there with

145
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: with the message.

146
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 5: No, I'm glad that it's there, because without their existence,

147
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 5: I mean, who's going to be able to, you know,

148
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 5: take up part. I mean not only do we do

149
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 5: the water delivery, but we also do like food delivery,

150
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 5: we do home repair and stuff like that. So Saint

151
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 5: Bonaventure wasn't there, you know, where would the people on

152
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 5: the Eastern Naba reservation that we serve, you know, where

153
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 5: would they get like any type of funding for utilities

154
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 5: or any type of help in any way that they need.

155
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 5: And you know, just to put in perspective, we only

156
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 5: serve the eastern part of the network reservation, and you

157
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 5: know the reservation is so big, we don't we can't

158
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 5: serve everybody else. So like the need is great, and

159
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 5: I'm I'm glad Saint Bonaventure is there.

160
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: Also the food pantries. Talk about that here we you know,

161
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: we have these grocery stores all they're so pretty with

162
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: flashing lights and sales on peanut butter and this and that.

163
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: If the food pantry situation, which of course is funded

164
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 1: by Saint Bonaventure and manage I guess by Saint Bonaventure

165
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: Mission correct, What what's it like to go to the

166
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: food pantry to get food for the week for your family?

167
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: Like what's waiting for you there?

168
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 5: So it's actually just like non perishable food, so you know,

169
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 5: anything boxed up, you know, spaghetti, pebing, j cereal. We

170
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 5: like to do something with their you know, enable to

171
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 5: get them you know, like fresh food like eggs, milk,

172
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 5: cheese or whatever they need. But it's just non perishable

173
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 5: foods for now.

174
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 2: And that's primarily because so many families don't have access

175
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 2: to electricity, so they don't have refrigerators to keep things cold,

176
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 2: and so you know, there are these challenges. It's not

177
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 2: that we want to fill people up with carbohydrates, you know,

178
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: but that's what we have available and they're happy to

179
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 2: get it.

180
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: You know, how many people are we talking about who

181
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: are affected by all of the things we're talking about

182
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: going on in the eastern part of the Navajo Reservation.

183
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 5: Well, I can't put a number on that. I can't say,

184
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 5: but for our water delivery since I've started, I mean,

185
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 5: we've grown probably from maybe about one hundred families to

186
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 5: about two hundred and fifty families that we serve that

187
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 5: we do deliver water too. And then monthly the families

188
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 5: that do come through our food pantry, I would say

189
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 5: probably about between two hundred and fifty three hundred average,

190
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 5: you know that would come through and get you know,

191
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 5: our food boxes that we have available if we have

192
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 5: them available at the time too.

193
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: So Gandhi your question, ask it again, because I think

194
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: it's very important.

195
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 5: How do we fix this?

196
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 3: How can we help?

197
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 2: Look, it's there's not an easy answer, okay, I mean

198
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 2: to put in an infrastructure, you're talking a trillion dollars

199
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 2: and so that's never going to happen. I think that

200
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 2: the best way is, you know, people to go to

201
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 2: our website make donations of five dollars, ten dollars, whatever

202
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 2: you're able to do, which helps us operate and run

203
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 2: these programs for these people that don't have any other way,

204
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 2: as thurman z, to get access to things. And I

205
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 2: want to say, you've got to think about water and

206
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 2: think about hygiene, and think about teenagers and how all

207
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 2: of that affects their mental health. And so you know,

208
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 2: forty gallons of water helps people stay, you know, with

209
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 2: good hygiene, and we have washing machines to wash clothes

210
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 2: for students. You know, there are various things that we

211
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 2: do to try to meet those needs. And suicide rates

212
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 2: are really high on the Navelahoo Reservation and so we're

213
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 2: also trying to address all of these mental health issues.

214
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 2: So it is a daily challenge for all of us

215
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 2: that are out there, but we love what we do.

216
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 2: And you know, if you're ever on your way to

217
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 2: the Grand Canyon, it's only about three hours from us. Yeah,

218
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 2: and so swing by through New Mexico and we'll show

219
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: you around. We'll take you to everything that we're doing

220
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 2: and really let you see the impact that your generosity

221
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 2: can actually make.

222
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: Wow, I'm sure the pandemic did not help at all.

223
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: I mean, remember the governor closed down Gallop the statehotwns

224
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: of Galluper Remember it was closed. Can you imagine having

225
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: a town that you can't get in or out of, Like,

226
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: what the what? But it's true. And now imagine how

227
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: that affected everyone out on the reservation. I mean it

228
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: must have been just devastating. And you're still paying the

229
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: price for that, I'm sure.

230
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 2: Well, yes, And you know, the thing about the pandemic was,

231
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 2: remember what was the number one way to keep yourself

232
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 2: safe outside of wearing a mask? Washing your hands, and

233
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 2: how do you wash hands without water? And so we

234
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 2: actually set up these hand washing stations and different parts

235
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 2: of the reservation, and then we were able to get

236
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 2: lots of donations of hand sanitizer. But you know, that

237
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 2: was and at one point the Navajo Nation had more

238
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 2: people dying from COVID than New York City, you know,

239
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 2: per population or per capita. But I mean, that's how

240
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 2: bad it was out there.

241
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: It was really bad. Gosh, thank god those days are

242
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: in the rearview mirror. But still, like I said, being

243
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: paid for. Look, it's so simple to go to Saint

264
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: saying right now, don't say, well, Elvis made a donation,

265
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:24,479
Speaker 1: so why should.

266
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 2: We what you heard of it right now?

267
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: Look, you know what we the United States is so

268
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: so so well known for sending money around the world

269
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: to help people around the world. Let's talk about taking

270
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: care of people who are Americans, Native Americans, people who

271
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: are living right here, right in our the side yard, right.

272
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: I think that's a very important thing to remember. We're

273
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: talking the need of water, something we take for granted

274
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: beyond measure. Talking about food, education, hygiene, mental health. All

275
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: those things fall into place with what you can do

276
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: to help out now with Saint Bonaventure Mission dot org.

277

Speaker 1: Do it immediately what you want to say.

278
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 4: I can attest the smiles that people would have on

279
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 4: their faces when they would be exiting their house.

280
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 3: Darlene's delivering the water.

281
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 4: They leave their house, they meet the truck on the

282
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 4: road because they cannot wait to see this woman that's

283
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 4: bringing them food and water. It's just they are doing

284
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 4: such great work out there, and I really hope everybody

285
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,560

Speaker 3: That these people have, that the.

00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 4: tell me, they go there and that's that's home for

291
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 4: them because sometimes their home life isn't so great, and
