From Pastor Anita Lang of the Moapa Christian Church
The Neel Parent Support Group and The Goodwill V.I.N.T.A Youth Ambassadors are amazing examples of parent involvement, youth leadership and compassion for others,” says Pastor Anita Lang of the Moapa Christian Church, we are thankful for be considered for this fundraiser. I am still in awe at what can happen on the reservation as a result of this art show. We had a Boys and Girls Club but building was condemned a few years back, since then the children have had no place to go after school or on the weekends.
We have been so concerned about the lack of structure activities for the children here on the reservation. We have a new building for the church family to worship and now we are able to use the older building as a Youth Center.
Right now, all we have is a old foose ball game and a few board games. The funds from the art show will allow us to purchase much needed items for the youth center i.e, a couple of computers, etc. We appreciate anything that would help us create a safe and entertaining place for our children.
