Through the activities of the Oasis of Opportunities she hopes to overcome the social and cultural glass boxes that are the labels, misconceptions, and stereotypes that confine and constrain many youth and animals to the margins of mainstream society.
In addition to working with marginalized animals and youth, Rebeckahopes the Oasis will be a place of community engagement and education. Several of her interest areas are: educating about the cycles of life in a wholesome, hands-on approach; researching innovative ways to grow produce and crops; and enabling all individuals to find their life passion by giving them the opportunity to reach out and give back in meaningful ways.
One of the ways she is currently synthesizing her experiences is thru the creation of Kamiah’s Kool Vest: an innovative solution to heat stress in service dogs.
