(SHA) junior Danielle Miller has been named Kentucky’s
top high school Volunteer of the Year and is a State Honoree
in the 2004 Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program. Miller received the honor for founding the “National Awareness Committee,” a service organization which provides clothing, books and other needed items to members of the Lakhota Sioux Nation living on a reservation in South Dakota. Miller said she became aware of the Lakhotas’ needs during a school presentation by the Native American Support Effort (NASE) when she was in eighth grade. “The details and photographs moved me to tears,” said Danielle. “I never realized the abundance of crisis in my own country.” Miller immediately offered to volunteer with NASE, but was too young to go on a mission to the reservation. Later, she realized she could accomplish a great deal in her own community to help the Lakhotas. She planned and organized five collection drives at local schools and in nearby communities, and gathered enough clothing, blankets, kitchenware, bicycles and books to fill a 52-foot truck. Danielle recruited volunteers to help sort, pack and load the donations, and personally accompanied the shipment to the Rosebud Reservation in southern South Dakota. She also raised more than $2,000 to pay for the transportation, and to make a documentary film that will be used to raise awareness.

of Japan among

may
not have had such opportunities, while increasing the level of understanding
between Japan and the United States of America.
