I forgive you, and I’m sorry too.” The parrot then says, “If you don’t mind my asking… what’d the chicken do?”

A lot of people at Crossroads, Northglenn say it’s “Tashi” or it’s “Jackson.” Or both! Tashi is a seven year-old Lhasa-apso (LhasaPoo to some). Marla Kalin, our Activities Director, is Tashi’s mom and brings him with her to work regularly. Jackson, a four-yearold German Shepherd, once a stray, has endeared himself to residents as the “Gentle Giant.” Jackson’s mom is Diana Morefield, Marketing and Admissions director at Northglenn. Crossroads at Northglenn welcomes pets as visitors, like Tashi and Jackson, or as full-time companions. Residents who can care for their animals are allowed one dog or one cat. For the others, Tashi and Jackson do the regular rounds, bringing smiles, joy, and comfort. Tashi gives the residents “high-fives” for treats, rolls over and gives kisses. He has even helped residents and their families transition during times of grief, sitting at the bedside, or snuggling alongside. Residents don’t miss Diana when she is out and about, but if Jackson isn’t around, that’s the first question: “Where is Jackson?” Jackson, when he isn’t helping in the garden, can be heard roaming the halls with squeak toys the residents have given him. He is also proud to be known as the Sheriff of Northglenn.

Drilling water wells has become one of the pillars of Maranatha’s work around the world. From Africa to South America, they’ve drilled wells in some of the most difficult places on earth. But in 2022, our team in India has been pushed to new limits in providing water in the mountainous state of Manipur. Here, villages dot the mountaintops at more than 5,000 feet, and each day residents must make a steep, dangerous hike, only to bring back water that could be contaminated. Drilling in this environment is not easy—a traditional large drilling rig will not make it up the rough, punishing roads. Instead, smaller machines are used, or, for the first time, water pipelines are being dug that bring fresh mountain spring water directly into villages. It is physically and logistically taxing work that has pushed our team to the limit. Watch how Maranatha is bringing water to these mountain villages in the latest episode of our television program, “Maranatha Mission Stories.” Maranatha’s projects are funded through local community and international donor support.
