Giving Back

---

Angie Fisher, 3rd grade teacher from Hanalei School shared the donated Aloha Books with students at Rangiātea in New Zealand.

Making  "Aloha Kindness Gifts" at the HAIS Education Fair.  

We had the pleasure to help the 2nd grade students become authors for the day by writing about "Aloha is Kindness". 

Darryl Grace Jr. of Big Island Air delivered goods to Kauaʻi  for victims of the floods.  Darryl Sr. and Leona  Grace, Lilinoe Grace and their ʻOhana,  the Kahikolu Congregational Church community and Holualoa Elementary School donated much needed items.   We met Darryl at the airport in Lihue and delivred the goods to Moku Boy Chandler and Joel Guy to deliver to Lahela Chandler Correa for distribution to those in need.

We had the pleasure of sharing Aloha and it's meaning with students in Ms. Kay West's 5th grade class in Colorado.  The books were donated to their classroom so that they could continue to learn and share their Aloha.  The students were very curious about Hawaiian culture and enjoyed learning about our islands.

Our very first fundraiser was graciously hosted by the Tahiti Nui in Hanalei.  Many community members stepped up to help organize, decorate, entertain and assist in making it a memorable evening.  Hundreds of community members, friends, ʻohana and even our very own Maryor Bernard Carvalho came and supported the evening by purchasing books of which proceeds were used to donate books to local schools.

We were honored to donate Aloha books to the  Halele’a Cultural Exploration Program (HCEP)
This excellent Hawaiian Cultural Exploration Program for kids ages 5-12 is held every summer. 

These Aloha Athletes of Hanalei t-shirts were made possible by a donation from  one of our community members.  The kids got to wear their T-shirts at the Mayors Youth Track Meet on April 7th and 8th, 2018 for all the elementary schools.

We are committed  to promoting inspirational and educational materials that help perpetuate Aloha and the Hawaiian culture worldwide. Our goal is to share Hawaiian traditions with visitors, support local schools, authors, artists, businesses and residents. The mission is to always promote peace and hope through books, education, seminars and public awareness.  

We are honored to acknowledge and support all the firefighters on our islands that work so hard to protect us.

Our new Curriculum/Teachers Guide was made possible by :  

Sponsored by Bluewater – “Inspired by the aloha spirit, Bluewater improves the health of people and our planet by providing increasing access to local sources of pure, fresh water. With our special purifiers and Bluewater bottles, we aim to provide an alternative to single-use plastic bottles, eliminating plastic pollution in our oceans.” This is how we share Aloha.

Shana Brown's 3rd grade class are very excited to be using the 2nd edition of "Aloha - What it Means to My  ʻOhana and Yours" book and curriculum that were donated to their classroom.
