Today, Elders of North and South Kona were seen on the shores of Miloli‘i. Miloli‘i, an amazing place similar to the wondrous lei placed upon the bosom of Miloli‘i. Indeed a lei, a lei of love, a wondrous lei of precious flowers of the sea in Miloli‘i. My love to Miloli‘i for their peacefulness, for their honoring of the Highest Spirit, for their carrying of a responsibility and many others. Here it is!
February 27, 2018, Nā Wai Puna o Kona journeyed to the bosom of Miloli‘i. We learned with the students of Hi‘ipu‘u Miloli‘i at Kua O Ka Lā New Century Public Charter School. Mahalo e Kumu Lei, Kumu Sheri, and Kumu Kaimi. Ke aloha nō, kūkae na‘au!
