Navajo Recovery Home
The Mission Home	Our recovery home is not affiliated with any government or religious organization. It is also not affiliated with the Navajo Nation. Our funding comes from private individuals. We do not discriminate admittance to anyone. Our philosophy is a simple one of offering positive examples of living without the need for alcohol. Guests come to us from treatment centers as well as the streets. When guests leave they continue with employment, education or reuniting with family members. The recovery home "manager" is Bob Ketelsen. Bob, a retired business owner is from the Chicago area. He runs the recovery home for homeless men who are victims of substance abuse. He is an Associate of the Franciscan Sisters of Clinton, IA. For more information or to sponsor a recovery call Bob @ 505-733-2291.

	"A European lady, visiting America for the first time, stood among a group of tourists watching a Navajo woman weaving. The visitor was completely engrossed. Invited to come closer, she touched the rug with her hands, then turned to her companions and said so matter-of-factly that there could be no disputing her, It is the handiwork of the Gods."
