To Whom it may concern: Re Lakota Circle Village School On 30th July there will be a grand opening of the Lakota Circle Village, an innovative school on
Pine Ridge Reservation. This school, the brainchild of Leonard Littlefinger,
will fill a great need as Native Americans struggle to identify with their
past as it provides students with an immersion in the Lakota language, and
teaches about Lakota culture equally with the skills of reading, writing, and
arithmetic. This unique school would not have
come into being without a great deal of assistance from the Mission of Love
and it's founder, Kathleen Price, who came in
to assist Leonard and his local supporters. The Mission of Love salvages many
objects that would otherwise be tossed into the dump. Most of us waste so
much, buying more than we need, and throwing out stuff that is desperately
needed by those who are less fortunate. Kathy Price and Mission of Love work
to reduce this needless waste and their efforts have helped many. Thanks to the Mission of Love,
students and teachers of Lakota Circle Village now have a beautiful new
school and items that seem without value to some are lovingly restored and
will be used and valued by eager students and teachers. Thank you, Kathy. Thank you
Leonard. Together you and all those who have helped are truly making a
difference. Congratulations! Yours sincerely, Jane Goodall
