The Ke Ali’i Pauahi Foundation – 13 Dec. 2008

 
We felt like we were rockin’ the house with this Saturday’s program. Kalei Stern started us off explaining how Ke Ali’i Pauahi Foundation was created to supplement Kamehameha Schools’ mission by providing opportunities primarily for Native Hawaiians not directly served by the Schools. Kalei has found that one on one conversations and building relationships is the best way, and in fact a very Hawaiian way, to secure funding—much of which is coming from the Kamehameha Schools ohana. If you need money for education, find out if you might be eligible for a grant,check www.pauahi.org. Applications will be available February 15th. Lurline Wailana McGregor then joined us at the table with her new novel, Between the Deep Blue Sea and Me. It explores a young professional’s journey back into the Hawaiian culture of her childhood, describing challenges and discoveries that many Hawaiians and others are experiencing today. Her novel is available at bookstores around Hawai’i. Keola Akana joined us also with great ideas for Christmas gifts from Kamehameha Publishing. The Kukulu Hawaiian playing cards look like a winner, and online purchases are 30% off right now at www.kamehamehapublishing.org. Mahalo to Lihau Hannes and Kellen Paik, who perform as Kupaoa. Hope you enjoy this sample from their brand new cd, Pili O Ke Ao. Check them out at http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=37.
