My Grandmother Yanabah, had to make sacrifices in her own life and forego education. Her mother passed away much too early and left children yet to be raised. Yanabah stepped in and filled that role and helped raise her siblings. She made sure that her missed opportunity would not be her families also. Yanabah would always encourage her children and grandchildren to obtain as much education as possilbe. Today, a list of children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will show numerous bachelor degrees, as well as masters degrees and even a dentist in training (Ohio State).
In honor of Yanabah and in memory of her desire for more education, we will be donating a portion of our sells, for scholarships. We will be working with the Navajo Nation Scholarship Fund, to provide small scholarships to graduating seniors.
Now we are a brand new and very small company, so we have to be realistic, so I'm told! But, I think we can make a difference. I will post more information, as we move along with this project. |
