Annually, Rotary recognizes six of its members and program participants age 30 and under as Rotary People of Action: ‘Champions of Tomorrow’. This week we meet:
Olivia Raley (USA) – A Rotary member and recent Rotary Youth Leadership Awards participant, Olivia’s work with the Nelson County Yellow Tulip Project – an initiative supported by multiple local organizations – has helped combat the stigma around mental health in a rural community in Kentucky. She has empowered youth participants to drive education and awareness around the topic and maintain Hope Gardens as visual symbols of the community’s commitment to creating a culture of optimism and mental health wellness.
Derrick Kabuye (Uganda) – A Rotaract member in Kampala, Derrick and his club have turned a rural school facing multiple challenges into a thriving educational facility through the Educate a Community Project. Under his leadership, the school’s footprint has expanded to serve more students, resolve sanitation issues, provide menstrual hygiene education, and offer job skills training.
