Movie Under the Stars
April 13, 2017
ʻOhana of our Keiki and ʻŌpio after-school programs enjoyed a movie and food together under the stars at our Hui Mālama O Ke Kai site.

Kālai Papa me Pōhaku Kuʻi ʻAi
October 2016-February 2017
Hui Mālama O Ke Kai would like to send a great big hoʻomaikaʻi to all of the ʻohana who have completed our 6th Papa me Pōhaku Kuʻi ʻAi series. In an effort to support the movement of "a board and stone in every home," families met weekly to learn how to hand carve a papa kuʻi ʻai (food pounding board) and shape a pōhaku kuʻi ʻai (food pounding stone) without electrical tools. Hūlō to all those who were able to complete this phase of your journey. To all who weren't able to finish or even those who weren't able to attend this round, we look forward to seeing you next time. Keep an eye on our website for updates on the next class. Mahalo!
