Mahalo to Hawai’i People’s Fund for your continued support for Hanakēhau through a 2016 HPF grant. The grant this year will allow us to increase our capacity to host service learning groups as well as workshops on hana no‘eau, mālama ‘āina, and aloha ‘āina. HPF has been a long time supporter of Hanakēhau from our beginnings in the bare dirt with the first kukui trees planted. Those kukui are now thriving along with severance dozen other native trees. We are also working now to open lo‘i with the first planting to go in this summer with the help of many partners. Mahalo for believing in our vision and action both at Hanakēhau and for the greater lāhui and for seeing that the two are inextricably linked. E mau ke ea o ka ‘āina!
