More than 40 Navajo children at Crystal Boarding School will start the school year with brand-new shoes thanks to acclaimed Navajo singer- songwriter Razor Saltboy, his longtime friend and World Youth Clubs Global Ambassador Beau Bridges, and the Rick and Susan Goings Foundation.

"This is about more than footwear," said Razor Saltboy. "It's about giving these kids a sense of pride as they walk into their classrooms."
