Hands of Hope Ministry is committed to raising the awareness of the plight of the people living on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. 
 To accomplish this we have expanded our website and spread the word about what we have seen and the needs of these proud people on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. We ask all who read this to consider volunteering time, talent and treasures to improve the living conditions of those on the reservation.

The team of volunteers provide the labor,the energy,and the enthusiasm to support, clean, replace, build for those in need.The discoveries the team of volunteers will make in just a few days will last a lifetime! Along with hard work comes rewards and a kinship that will last forever with your fellow volunteers, we do share a lot of joyous moments, also some sad and some emotional moments as we work together in God's name.

The Reward of Learning about a Different Culture God calls each of us to share our gifts.  One of our most precious possessions is the gift of our presence to others. You Will Learn how they live and experience their challenges.You will discover what it is like to live in a different culture and in a different part of the United States.  

It is an experience of a lifetime!

Diana Sawyer made a trip to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and recorded an episode for 20/20 about the living conditions there. We have made a link to that episode below.
This is a lengthy video (about 40 to 45 minutes with commercials) but paints a good picture of the conditions and dreams of some of the young people involved in the day to day lives on the reservation.
