Back in the Spring of 2012, Hui Mālama O Ke Kai (HMK) celebrated the completion of it's first Board and Stone Class - supporting the vision of a “board and stone in every home". To support and encourage the continuation of cultural learning and ʻohana strengthening, HMK initiated Kuʻi Kalo Night - an event hosted once a month by HMK to provide the space and opportunity for families to have a “family night" together. Keiki are pre-occupied with hands-on learning, void of electronics - iPhones, tablets, etc. Mākua are reminded of how to spend uninterrupted quality time with their children. All are inspired to be “present" during the event.

Hesitant to join us because you do not have your own board and stone? No worry! HMK has the tools and supplies you will need to kuʻi ʻai (pound food). Staff will cook the kalo ahead of time so that all attending ʻohana need to do is clean and kuʻi (pound) their kalo!
