One year after the formal dedication of the
First
American
Dream
Center
, the Indian Nations are experiencing renewed hope. Ever since
the Indian Nations were settled on reservations in the 19th
century, extreme poverty, alcoholism, hunger, joblessness,
illiteracy and a lack of an infrastructure has been the plight
of the Indians Nations. The formal dedication of the structure
and pending ministry was held during the weeklong Celebration
of the Nations, April 28th through May 4th, 2002. The
celebration culminated with a food distribution to more than
5,000 families living on the Navajo, Hopi and other Indian
Nations of the four corners region of the
United States
.
The
past twelve months have been very productive and busy for the
FADC. Numerous semi trucks loaded with food, clothing,
vitamins, building supplies, bottled water, blankets and other
life sustaining products have been delivered and distributed
in the southwest as well as the reservations of the
Dakotas
.
Volunteers
from across the country have converged on the FADC to work
among the First Americans. Widow’s homes have been improved,
Senior Adult Centers have been helped and churches have been
remodeled with product from FADC.
