Why are we volunteering here?
Why are we volunteering here?
We will be joining the Loʻi Kalo Park's holiday service day! Things may be Christmas-themed, but we will also bring Chanukah ruach with fun hats, Hawaiian/Chanukah fusion food, and more!
Taro (kalo in Hawaiian) was the staple food in Hawaii prior to Western contact. The plant is also the mythological elder brother of the Hawaiian people. Loʻi Kalo Park community workday is an effort to restore the natural beauty and historical importance of this once forgotten park.
As malahini on native lands Jewy Hui believes deeply in Tikkun Olam and seeks ways to experience and learn more about Hawaiian culture and partner with organizations to mālama ʻāina.
