We would like to thank our community for the generous contributions you made to Hika’alani during the Kalapaokanaka campaign. Because of you, we far exceeded our expectations for our very first virtual fundraiser and are so excited as we continue our mission of reestablishing centers of stewardship and learning in Kailua.

As we begin to close out 2020, we thank all of you for the love, support, and kindness you continue to show our small non-profit.
​
Again, the six of us on the Kalapaokanaka planning team – Māpu, Momi, Pili, Kaʻolu, Lani, and Hōkū – want to express our heartfelt appreciation.
Lonoikamakahiki!

 Although barely a year old, Kauluakalana has demonstrated a much older and wiser talent for turning apparent setbacks into unexpected victories. One of its major accomplishments, i waena konu o ka wa kovida, was to orchestrate a virtual Kūʻokoʻa Kūkanono celebration that brought the lāhui together across the pae ʻāina in a demonstration of kūʻokoʻa connectedness and resilience.  Hikaʻalani was both proud and humbled to help sponsor the event.  We reveled in the sharing of oli, hula, music, and moʻolelo. We listened in awe to the retelling of the journey of Timoteo Haʻalilio, a true hero-servant of our people. And we raised our pōhaku ku'i ʻai, from Hawaiʻi to Kauaʻi, in fealty to Hāloa, our kaikuaʻana and provider.
