FTH 2023 Supported Organization: DigDeep/Navajo Water Project

Indigenous communities in the United States often lack access to basic infrastructural resources that are taken for granted in most other parts of the country. Among the Navajo communities in Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico, one-third of households do not have running water in their homes, and have no access to sewage systems. Without sinks or toilets, these families are forced to haul water in on a daily basis. In addition to the time and labor this requires of them, they end up paying an average of sixty-seven times more for this water than they would if it were piped in.

The Navajo Water Project is a community-led project that brings clean hot and cold running water into American homes. Over the past six years, the Navajo Water Project has brought clean, running water to more than 300 Navajo households. They have also lit up remote homes with solar power, delivered 13 million of gallons of water, created jobs, and sustained thousands of families throughout the pandemic. They also invest in research, advocacy, and workforce development to close the Water Gap once and for all.

The Navajo Water Project is organized by DigDeep, which began its water justice work in 2013 building water systems in rural Cameroon and South Sudan. DigDeep has since shifted to working entirely in the US and expanded to include the Appalachian Water Project, which brings hot and cold running water to homes in West Virginia and Kentucky.

You can support Navajo Water Project and DigDeep as a creator in the 2023 FTH auction (or as a bidder, when the time comes to donate for the auctions you’ve won.)

One basic truth can be used as a foundation for a mountain of lies, and if we dig down deep enough in the mountain of lies, and bring out that truth, to set it on top of the mountain of lies; the entire mountain of lies will crumble under the weight of that one truth, and there is nothing more devastating to a structure of lies than the revelation of the truth upon which the structure of lies was built, because the shock waves of the revelation of the truth reverberate, and continue to reverberate throughout the Earth for generations to follow, awakening even those people who had no desire to be awakened to the truth.

Words for thought:

Lacking love for yourself makes it difficult to be alone. Because who can you blame when you are alone? Alone with the hatred you feed yourself. So you pretend to work on yourself. But you actively Look for someone or many new people to put your energy into & get energy from. It’s easy to get someone to love you. You become a Chameleon and mold yourself into what they want, or what you think people want. You pour “love” into them to make them stay. Some people have an eye for self hate so they’ll take a chance use you and destroy you leaving you feeling worse about yourself. Or you pour a lot of “love” and then withdraw it which forces people into that what am I doing wrong mentality and they do everything and anything to please you to keep you. so they stay and love you and you can skip trying to love yourself since you have others to do it for you. But in time it will creep up again and again You will look in the mirror and see yourself or who you’ve been trying to be and be stuck in a continuous cycle. Some people can spend their whole lives in avoiding it comfortable there. They self medicate, self harm and do anything to avoid it. Some will even die there. If you are reading this don’t relive endless cycles. Love yourself because your heart is the only one that will be with you until the very end.

floating in yellow wilted leaves

listening to the gentle autumn breeze

night time standing tall

even as wishes fall

Into the corner of a room we crawl

promises burning deep

pillows and duvets

Into feathers we weep

to express how you feel

Is to bloom

and to blossom

they will burn as they rise

if you try, not to, cross them

breathe deep enough

escape what you feel

late in the night your heart it will steal

All, of your thoughts, and your deepest compressions

darling they’ll attack you

in the night, to protect them
