Family Funtime Fundraiser! Next weekend in Barona, hosted by our good friend Bobby Wallace!
Míiyuyam Chóo’onum hello everyone! So, what happens when you gather over 30 young people in the woods with minimal cell service? ……..👻🧟🌕🧛
….
You get a beautiful healing space primed for learning, growth, and relationship building for all present. We had over 60 community members, mentors, facilitators, and organizations showing up for young people in a healing way. 🙌✨
The “Gathering of Native Americans 2022” is evidence of what it can look like when people show up for each other, both young and old, and feel the power of the community gathering. We are so grateful for everyone who made this possible, from our donors, our sponsors, our volunteers, collaborators, team members, spiritual leaders, and of course, our young adult and youth participants. Enjoy the recap video! And you won't want to miss next year, sign up to pre-register for the next GONA 2023 here: https://bit.ly/GONA2023

📖 🍎 Today is World Teachers Day! 🧑🏽🏫 We would like to invite all of you to reflect on the teachers who went the extra mile to make you feel loved, worthy, and encouraged you to be all you can be. Let your teachers know why their past interactions were so meaningful! ✨
🪶Because our communities are unique and specific, it is so important for teachers to be culturally responsive - meaning affirm all families' strengths, cultures, and commitment to their child's learning and well-being in order to have the necessary positive impact on our young people's education and the involvement of families and community members. These relationships are especially important for our families who are experiencing challenges to their well-being (or instead : challenged with systems of oppression that are still in play to this day.
✅ UNESCO proclaimed October 5 to be World Teachers' Day in 1994 because it was on this date in 1966 when a significant step was made for teachers due to the signing of the ILO/UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers. In this, it states some of the key issues, including: Co-operation in policy issues - “There should be close co-operation between the competent authorities, organizations of teachers, of employers and workers, and of parents as well as cultural organizations and institutions of learning and research, for the purpose of defining educational policy and its precise objectives.” (IV.10k).
This is a day to celebrate, thank and honor teachers for their contributions to their students and for all of us to continue advocating for a more equitable education for our young people. 📈
