January 10th, 2k13...Hālau Lōkahi Public Charter School creates an environment where all participants, students, educators, families and the community are supported in achieving a sense of personal lōkahi and an even greater sense of unity within their ‘ohana environments. Their visit to Kūkaniloko personified this experience for both haumana and their teachers as they centered at and connected to the piko, Kūkaniloko...malama keiki o ka ʻāina... eō

January 9th, 2k13...An onsite meeting with illustrator, John Hina III (Prime) of 808 Urban, illustrator, Estria Miyashiro of The Estria Foundation and Tom Lenchanko was to discuss their bid with the City to have their artwork considered for two of the walls at the new Wahiawā Bus Depot. Their desire was to have their work reflect the ancient history of the lands of the Lo Aliʻi and they were eager to learn about Kūkaniloko. The monthly meeting on the 13th included their presentation to HCCW members of their sketches and power point review. They were accompanied by HPD Officers John De Mello, Tony Kalahui, Maunakea Ohia and John Mau. Members enjoyed their presentation and creations. There are many who have submitted entries to the City and we wish them the best...

Faculty members Dr. Martina Kamaka and Dr. Vanessa Wong, along with their first year medical students from JABSOM, currently taking a yearlong elective in Hawaiian healthcare, came out to Kūkaniloko. To traditional healers, health means a balance between the ʻāina, man and the gods; as well as an equal balance in the spiritual, mental/emotional and physical states. Students visit sacred sites such as Kūkaniloko, to meet with traditional healers and to learn basic protocol. Work-visits emphasize giving back to the communities in exchange for the knowledge they gain. Hopefully, in the end, that they will be better physicians and better members of their communities. More importantly better prepared to care for the people of our Nation, ko Hawaiʻi paeaina...Mahalo piha for planting for our future.

Maile Alau and Kaipo Granito instructed seven of us on location, four others across the continent from Denver to Chicago through Skype and one other student in California on the telephone. Assistance in grant reviewing insures accuracy and quicker turnaround times. HCCW members Pakele a me Kalimapau participated in this unique experience. The following week, grant reviews were completed electronically. Corrections and approvals were effectively expedited...eō

Uncle Charlie Rose was dearly loved by family, friends and our Hawaiian community. He was a humble man with a great sense of humor. A member of several Hawaiian Civic Clubs across the islands, he worked tirelessly as quoted by Leimomi Khan: “Charlie was an influential, compassionate, forward-thinking leader who believed strongly in empowering individuals and building partnerships.” He helped to create Hawai'i Maoli non-profit to help Hawaiian Civic Clubs be able to obtain funding to help their communities throughout Hawai'i and on the continent. He was also a founding member of the Prince Kuhio Federal Credit Union. He was instrumental in helping Hawaiian communities obtain grants for higher education, scholarships, health programs, and preservation of the oral histories of kupuna...My special aloha to Uncle Charlie who sat me down one day and said, “It’s out there, go for it!” HCCW has since received six grants...me kealoha pumehana...
