My trip to Tsinaabaas Ha'bitiin Elementary School was truly memorable. The meals and accomodations at the Cameron Trading Post were great. Tracy Kee was a very personable and friendly guide--we had a wonderful time with her. Most importantly, I loved the opportunity to be able to work with students in this elementary school and gain some insight into their lives. I will forever hold dear the day I read to all classes the Native American folk tales from the eastern Abenaki where I come from in NYS. I donated several books with these tales to the school library and love that I could read them to the children in the room in which they honored the 4 Sacred Mountains each day in Navajo.
I would love to experience more trips like this. The moderate cost of this service trip made it doable for me. Even though such programs most probably make little money for RS, I would love to see more of these volunteer programs. Please think about this for those of us on a moderate teacher's retirement!
I will hold the memory of visiting the Navajo Nation close. Thank you for this experience.

Come visit the western edge of the Navajo Nation and embrace what the Southwest has to offer. It will change your life.

For anyone looking for a hands-on volunteer experience, this is it! The combination of working with students and learning via site visits, an informative instructor and interesting (and funny) Navajo presenters is an experience I'd recommend to everyone.

Volunteering at the K-5 school on the Navajo Nation reservation was not only personally rewarding, but sorely needed by the students. The children gained a bit of insight into our lives outside of the reservation and we certainly gained a better understanding of life on the reservation and the Navajo culture.

What an inspirational, well organized and life changing experience you will have as a Volunteer on the Navajo Nation! As a retired educator of thirty years myself, this program exceeded my expectations and will forever leave a positive impression on my heart. This was my first Road Scholar experience and it will definitely not be my last. It was lead by amazing, passionate and clearly educated leaders who quickly became friends.

A hugely meaningful and enjoyable experience. All the members of my group stated they would love to return to participate again. One of the most satisfying journeys of my life.

This program is amazing! The facilitator's knowledge of and relationships with members of the Dine community greatly enhanced this program. I'm looking forward to my next trip with Tracy.

A fantastic opportunity to step outside my comfort zone and learn about another culture! This trip is well organized and highly recommended for people who enjoy children, learning, and exploring different ways of seeing the world. At the end of each day, I was ready for sleep (after the delicious dinner) for all the right reasons. Definitely a memory for a lifetime.
