Our program was Aiyanna Smith, from Blossom Sustainable Development. A former Southampton Rotary Scholarship winner, Aiyanna's focus of her organization involves attention to substance abuse. Something she came interested in through her time living on the reservation. The goal is complete rehabilitation, and recovery. They adopted an online program Path to Peace which focuses on acheiving peace holistically. Her goal was to help her people and other traveling communities and hopes to reach a national level someday. It was wonderful to have Aiyanna in for our rotary session and we wish her the best with her organization's journey. More info can be found here
