MVYLI Youth Share Life-Changing Summit Experiences
Dedicated to Oceans, this year's Summit was held at the Mayhew House overlooking the blue waters of Menemsha. Local and global legends shared their time and talents for a rich and life-changing experience for everyone. Our young people were especially touched by
Gandhi's Grandson
Arun's message of peace. The Vineyard community was then invited to our
Gandhi Youth Forum
.
Nancy Slonim Aronie
encouraged us to
Write From the Heart
and Grammy nominated flutist
Viviana Guzman
inspired us to make music out of our lives.
Makana Tavare
taught us cultural values through Hawaiian Lei-Making and
Gabriella Alinda Sullo
through Yoga.
