or a week in early May,
students and professors
from Grace College (Winona
Lake, IN) visited Rehoboth.
These education majors
stepped into classrooms and
counseling offices to get to
know our students and help
out around campus in ways
both big and small. The
group was thirsty to learn
more about Navajo and Zuni
culture, as well as the circum-
stances that have shaped the
lives of each of our students.
They took in a presentation
about generational trauma
from Rehoboth Board Mem-
ber, Sierra Yazzie Asamoa-Tu-
tu, and they toured key sites
on the Navajo Nation like
Window Rock, AZ; Hubbell
Trading Post; and Canyon
de Chelly. The Grace College
organizing professor, Kevin
Voogt, was enthusiastic about
the experience. “This is the
kind of rich opportunity our
students need. We will defi-
nitely be back.”
This spring, Rehoboth also
welcomed a group of stu-
dent volunteers from Embry
Riddle Aeronautical Univer-
sity. Associated with Campus
Christian Fellowship, the stu-
dents helped the Rehoboth
facilities staff with many tasks
including setting fence posts,
moving furniture,
and groundskeep-
ing, even getting a
lawn mower run-
ning again. Their
service helped
some much-needed
projects to move
forward. The group
also volunteered
with the non-prof-
it, Strengthening
Nations, for a day. The
Embry students toured two
of the Rehoboth bus routes
to Crownpoint and Zuni
as a way to experience what
it is like traveling to school
for some of our students
and realize how dedicated
many families are in send-
ing their children to RCS
in spite of the distance.
Showing particular interest
in topics like faith, mission,
and culture, the group was
also able to talk with pastor
James Zwier and principal
Tim Becksvoort at the Zuni
Christian Mission as they
toured Zuni Middle Village.
We are truly grateful for this
group of students!
