Educational success

What a wonderful weekend seeing Hawaiians accomplish what they desired. Graduating from local high schools, to Hawaiian Immersion, to the University and reaching the goals they set. We no longer accept past views of Hawaiians being uneducated and unable to make decisions. WE can and we are.

Whatever we want to do we can. We can get higher degrees, we can be business owners, we can have successful families, we can contribute to our communities, and we can reach our goals. We are Hawaiians and we are here to stay.

Summer approaches

As May winds down and the summer begins, life in Hawai'i becomes all that the local folks look forward to. There are beach days, camping days, visiting with 'ohana, and spending time with friends. The flowering trees have canopies of yellow plumeria, red lehua, delicate white kukui, and bushes of gardenia. The lychee will begin to ripen and the mango are not far behind.

The beaches become active with barbeques, boogie boards, and laughing children. Add the bamboo pole fishing when the oama run and there's something for everyone out there. There are many sunshining days and star studded nights to enjoy with falling stars. Enjoy all that summer has to offer.
