Jennifer Garner Instagram – @markkshriver and I felt the Diné’s (Navajo) rich history and culture woven throughout the community as we visited community leaders at the Central Consolidated School District in Navajo Nation (New Mexico). We had a collaborative, welcoming conversation about how @savethechildren can best help area children thrive, I enjoyed my first mutton stew, blue mush, and blue corn cookies (delicious!), and ⭐️ leaders from the local ECHO Food Bank told us they receive food from @onceuponafarm’s partnership with @savethechildren ⭐️—🥰—it was a win, all around. An educator from San Juan County told Mark and me, “You dream of a silver bullet showing up to help us feed these kids, get them started on the right foot in school, especially in their early years. Save the Children is our silver bullet.” The next day, Mark and I met with @govmlg and members of her cabinet, as well as New Mexico’s Legislature, and found them to be engaged and informed. In Gov. Lujan Grisham’s administration, Early Education is top priority; @savethechildren is proud to work in partnership with New Mexico’s most under resourced schools.

Full on JOY) (Bonus 2: a @savethechildren home visit with a Diné home visitor who incorporated tradition and custom into her work with Leiyalynn and her daughter. We loved the Pow Wow dresses ♥️) San Juan County, New Mexico
