The night of storytelling and uplifting our Hawaiian values and future leaders promises to be entertaining and inspiring We will continue our online auction featuring unique art and one of a kind experiences. 100% of the proceeds from the Gala and online auction will go directly towards nurturing and engaging Hawaii’s youth to become more aware of the importance of ocean safety and stewardship.

 

 

Since Nā Kama Kai was founded in 2008, they have worked to get ocean safety and stewardship education into our school classrooms. Hawaiʻi is an island state surrounded by the ocean and many share the belief that it’s our kuleana to keep our keiki ocean smart and ocean safe. The success of the annual Paʻakai Awards has allowed Nā Kama Kai to compete and be awarded a State of Hawaiʻi Grant in Aid award to teach ocean safety to teachers in or around the 4th grade, across all four Hawaiʻi counties.

Proceeds from the fundraiser will benefit Nā Kama Kai’s work to support daily, after-school and weekend programming for youth on the west coast of O‘ahu at Hālau Nā Kama Kai. They will also contribute to the expansion of Nā Kama Kai’s programming, clinic programs and youth mentorship. Instructions on how to donate items to the silent auction or to make additional contributions to the organization are available at nakamakai.org.

Aloha Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint-Idaho, thanks for your comment. The answer to our climate crisis has been exemplified by the Polynesians for thousands of years through the maintenance of sustainability practices and the nurturing of our lands and oceans. Unfortunately, too many people are not listening and prefer the alternative.
