Alika Jamile, president of the board of the Moanalua Garden Foundation, shared some of the history and work the foundation has been involved in since their community outreach began in 1970. After concentrating first on environmental issues, the foundation is moving toward a focus on culture, which will include relationships with the environment.

We knew everybody was shopping, cooking, getting the holiday parties together so we kept the music up front for this enjoyable Saturday together. Last year Kaho’onei was talking about how informative and well run the Native Hawaiian Convention was, so we did take the opportunity to let you know about it early this year. Scheduled for August 25-27 at the Hawai’i convention Center, this 8th annual convention is the brainchild of the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement (CNHA). Robin Danner, founder, President and CEO of the CNHA was our guest at the kitchen table today. Reach them at www.hawaiiancouncil.org or call 808-596-8155 or toll free 800-709-2642.

Rocking morning with Chamme Ann Keawe from Pearl City High School, Tiara Lima from Island Pacific Academy, Kaulalani Robins from Sacred Hearts, Kristen Wong from Punahou and Jasmine Foster representing all you on Maui and King Kekaulike High. These firecrackers are this year’s participants in the Harvard Medical School Native American Summer Program. These high school students will be going to the Cambridge campus for three weeks of experience in the biomed field, great for the high school resume and for checking career options. The Pa’i Foundation administers applications for this summer program as their Ho’oulu Project. Why not find out more at www.paifoundation.org.
