Summer always means a lot of laulima (many hands working together) at Waipā and this summer has probably seen more hands working than ever before.

Waipā’s ‘ohana (family) is an amazing community of unique and supportive kupuna, volunteers, families, youth and others who are not only from Kaua‘i, but really from all over the world. All so different and yet all choosing to aloha ‘aina (show love for the land) at Waipā.

In addition to hosting organized groups for service learning, Waipā also began hosting community workdays again earlier this year. About 50 folks showed up at our most recent workday in July, making it the best attended workday yet! We at Waipā are so grateful that so many folks understand how a healthier and more sustainable ahupua’a is good for all the life it supports, including us!

Mahalo to all of you who come to Waipā to share in the work. Our next volunteer opportunity (besides poi day of course), will be on Sunday, August 17th when we host our second annual Music and Mango Festival.
