Nanitch Sahallie
Employee Of The Month
Marvin Fr0CU( is a Certified I Counselor who is the
selection for Employee of the Month at Nanitch Sahal
lie. Marvin's dedication to Nanitch Sahallie clients is
apparent in all facets of his work. He is particularly
noted for recognizing the need for appropriate staff
coverage in a residential unit and is most always volun-.
teering to fill another staffs shoes when the staff
member is unexpectedly absent due to illness or other
problems. If it seems that staff may need more assis
tance, Marvin will stay at work until a crisis is resolved.
The words, "call Marvin..." are a byword when someone
is needed.
Marvin is highly respected by his peers for fostering
cultural awareness and physical fitness. Marvin is a
marathon and sprint runner. This, of course, means that
he is a fine role model of joyful, healthy and responsible
sobriety for Native American youth.
Mr Fragua is also a good role model in the continu
ation of his education. Marvin has managed to fit an
impressive amount of school hours into an already full
life.
Native American role model, an always growing and
improving chemical dependency counselor; supports and
practices the tradition and culture of his own Tribe;
husband and father of three, while helping his extended
family, a worker in the Indian community and sweat
lodge; worker in his church; friend to all who fight
against the disease of alcoholism yet understanding of
those who are its victims - these are reasons for Marvin
Fragua being named Nanitch Sahallie Employee of the
Month.
