October 24-30, 2024

"Ho'okahi ka 'ilau like ana." - "All paddling together in unison."

— Hawaiian proverb

He ali'i ka la'i, he haku na ke aloha

Calmness is a chief, love is its master. In order to become a guardian of our shared Mother Earth we must maintain inner peace and love in all aspects of life despite the turmoil and distractions in the world. The protection of Mother Earth is not just a responsibility; it is a sacred duty that we all share. This is our unified kuleana.
