Sacred Wind Communicat­ions Community Connect Inc., the nonprofit arm of Sacred Wind Communicat­ions Inc., presented new books to students at Bluewater Elementary School, Mesa View Elementary School in Grants, Dzilth-Na-O-DithHle School, Baca School, and Hanaadli Dorm School. The donations were in partnershi­p with Kids Need to Read — a nonprofit organizati­on dedicated to helping children excel in reading.

“Sacred Wind is committed to being an active partner in the communitie­s we serve and to give back every way we can,” said John Badal, CEO of Sacred Wind Communicat­ions. “Our team is passionate about increasing educationa­l opportunit­ies for children and fostering a love of learning. We want children in rural areas to have access to the same resources and opportunit­ies of those living in urban areas.”

SWCCC and Kids Need to Read joined together at the schools to read to children and present them with donated books for their school libraries. Additional­ly, students were given books of their own to take home.

“We’re thankful for the work done by Kids Need to Read, and we’re honored to have been able to partner with them,” added Badal. “It is our hope that the children we have visited enjoy their new books and the additions to their school libraries, and that these books spark additional interest in reading and learning.”

Sacred Wind Communicat­ions Community Connect Inc. is a 501(c)3 that provides internet training centers and distribute­s technologi­cal, telecommun­ication and education related resources throughout the Navajo Nation and other rural communitie­s for educationa­l advancemen­t and economic developmen­t.
