Lakota AID Registered Charity No: 1097444

Park and Recreational Projects planned for the Lakota Reservations. I am putting out this information on behalf of Russell Stubbs, who is with the Park Management, South Dakota State University. Russell contacted me recently and would like to get British schools and educational institutions involved in a Recreation and Park Project that he and a team of collegues have already started.They have plans for future projects also and are doing some great work for the Lakota people that will help to make life brighter and much more worthwhile than it is at present for most of them. On the Rosebud Reservation , South Dakota, Russell and his team have been involved with supplying bats, balls, gloves, soccer balls, basketballs etc and are now working on the “Rosebud Recreation and Park project” which will need a large sum of money to complete. Any funds that come in for this will be held by the South Dakota Community Foundation, which will be specifically for such efforts.They hope to have a solid recreation and parks  programme on the Rosebud Rez by march 2008. Russell and his team are with the South Dakota State University , but are enlisting other universities:- Western Illinois, Black Hills State and Dakota Wesleyan to name a few! They would also like to see British Schools get involved with this also, summer internships etc, and if any Schools or Universities etc are interested and would like more information about this please contact Russell .( details below). He would love to Internationalise this effort ,and what a wonderful project this would be for the areas of the Pine Ridge reservation also, such as the “Little Wound” School at Kyle. Who knows what could come from a co-ordinated international effort for the Lakota people!
