St. Joseph's Indian School-www.stjo.org


I read an article about St. Joseph's Indian School and decided to send a donation to St. Joseph's Indian School in Chamberlain, SD 57326. When Little House of Music made this school it's choice for sharing we never dreamed we'd get anything in return. All of our students just love to help the Indian children and we talk very often about what happened to the American Indians way back when everything they had was taken from them. I feel very sorry for the children. Actually they were here first and the land was there's along with the buffalo's.
We thought we would be helping them but you just wouldn't believe all the beautiful things they keep sending to us. We have received everything you could possibly make with a"Dream Catcher." I love Dream Catcher's and so do all of my students. We have also received beautiful greeting cards, address labels, pictures the Indian children make, snow globe's of the Chapel where the children worship, Buffalo key chain's decorated with turquoise, Indian blankets and umbrella's to name a few items. It has been so much fun. Out of the blue the mailman delivers another package from the children at the Indian School to share with us.
After Little House of Music receives 10-12 gifts the Indian children sent to us our students buy the items for what ever amount they want to give and Little House of Music then match's the amount our students pay for the items and sends the children another check. It's a win, win situation and lots of fun for our students and very helpful for the Indian children.
If you can spare a donation send it to St. Joseph's Indian School and sit back and wait until you receive your first Dream Catcher. It's really very exciting! http://www.stjo.org/.
We must start helping each other in our world or soon we won't have one! From our first donation from us to the Indian children they have shown our children how very important it is to share!
