Four Values, One Spirit
In December 2013, the Seminole Tribe from Florida began putting together videos of the most positive happenings from the reservations in the US. Team One Spirit: The Lakota Five and their participation in the New York City Marathon caught their attention. The Tribe sent a film crew to the Reservation to film the story of the runners and One Spirit. They included the wood program in the story and the video – Four Values, One Spirit - was recently released on the Seminole Channel on Youtube at:

Sponsorship Program
The Sponsorship program has always been an important OS program that brings assistance directly to families and elders and also promotes inter-cultural understanding and friendship. Both families and sponsors tell us frequently how much it means to them. Both seem to gain equal benefits from the program. There are about 800 sponsors in the program at this time and about 1000 children and elders on the waiting list hoping for a sponsor. The children and elders on the program have urgent needs for warm clothing, blankets, shoes, food and other basic needs.
