Jen and Peter Salinetti
The Salinettis are a college-educated couple with two small children who choose to be farmers despite the family pressures to make more money and get office jobs. In the course of A Small Good Thing, they travel to Rwanda to volunteer at Gardens for Health, a non-profit dedicated to ending chronic childhood malnutrition by teaching villagers how to garden for food. Jen and Pete’s understanding of themselves as teachers and activists blossoms on this trip.
