Project Pueblo 2014

Eschewing the typical trips home or to the beach, a group of Pacific Union College students spent ten days in March working with a church in the Navajo heartland. Sixteen students and one staff member from Pacific Union College spent their spring break in Chinle, Ariz., in the center of a Navajo reservation. The group was invited to by Pastor Dale Wolcott of the Chinle Seventh-day Adventist Church, and focused their efforts on installing a new roof on the church. PUC was also able to donate $3,000 to the project. With the help of Al, a roofer from Michigan who supervised the project, a large portion of the work on the church was completed. Despite high winds and a heavy dust storm, the group was able to remove the old, damaged roof and begin installing a new metal roof that will last for years to come. The local Adventist school, staffed by one teacher and one volunteer, has only eight students, and the PUC students helped by preparing lunch, providing daycare services for the teacher, leading P.E. classes, and coordinating a week of prayer program. Additionally, the students PUC Adds New Bachelor’s in A Learning Opportunity with Author Matt de la Peña at the Chinle Seventh-day Adventist School were able to learn about Emergency Services True Return Speaks on the Path to faraway countries from the culturally diverse group of PUC students.
