Aloha mai,
Today we had the YMCA youth program from Kailua, Kalihi, and Mililani come down to Ulupo to learn, grow, and help hoʻōla hou i ka ʻāina. The hana of the day besides the continual hoʻokamaʻāina action that happens with every group, was to waele loʻi both makai of Ulupō and down the slope next to Kawainui, as well as huki kalo and harvest uala. Although the puʻe uala wasn't as full as we would have wanted them to be, our puʻuwai and naʻau were overflowing with aloha watching our keiki interact with haloa in loʻi that has been planted and replanted in for many generations spanning over 1000 years. An example that we traveling down the righteous path of aloha ʻāina, renewing our relationships with kūpuna, and rededicating ourselves to ʻāina.
