One Drop Can Make a Wave

So much has been happening...

On St. Patrick's Day we helped put on a benefit performance for the Omaha Nation Water Walk. This was held on the Unitarian Church, and our friend Renee did spoken word performance of her poetry accompanied with music by Diane Robinson Kerr and Fran Collier. It was a beautiful performance, and it raised some money for the Water Walk.

Renee's plan is to do the water walk to pray and raise awareness for the problems with the water treatment on the Omaha reservation in Northeast Nebraska. There have been ongoing problems with e-coli contamination. The communities on the reservation have had numerous boil water alerts, and people are getting by with bottled water and paper plates.

The water system is in bad shape and it would cost big money to replace or fix.

Will and Charlotte helped with the sound check the afternoon before the performance. The last song included the audience on percussion, and this was great fun for everybody. The final song was "One Drop Can Make a Wave." This is a fitting description for what we want to do to make sure folks on the reservation have clean water.
