A few weeks ago, Site Director Renee and Construction Coordinator Derrika made a trip to visit the Teec Nos Pos Chapter of the Navajo Nation! We are excited to return to this chapter this summer for the first time since 2011.
🌞 Teec Nos Pos, AZ is located near the Four Corners and sits at an elevation of about 5,300'. Be prepared for a dry climate with minimal shade, and summer temperatures often reaching 100°F. The schedule will likely shift one hour earlier than our standard daily outline to account for this.
📍 We'll be hosted at the Chapter House in the center of the community. There is a large space for most participants to sleep, with several indoor bathrooms and an industrial kitchen. Meals will be shared at picnic tables outside, and adventurous volunteers are welcome to sleep under the stars. Two nearby churches have also opened their doors for larger weeks to host a few groups overnight.
🚿 The site will feature a brand new shower trailer, built by long-time SSP volunteers from Asbury UMC - thank you! It offers six private showers with attached changing rooms.
🏠 High-priority home repair projects will focus on accessibility ramps, stairs, porches, and roof repairs for elders. Many homes do not have running water or electricity.
🤝 On Monday evenings, community members will share about their culture. We are lucky to be close to the San Juan River, where we will gather for Water Day later in the week!
We can't wait for the summer! There is still room to sign up for a week of service: SierraServiceProject.org/Navajo-Nation
