Causes: Arts & Culture, Cultural & Ethnic Awareness
Mission: We endeavour to stimulate and provide education consistent with this mission in order to bridge differences within the various societies of the hawaiian islands. An educational program to address economic, social and cultural issues that presently face all inhabitants of these islands is currently being designed.
Programs: Aloha first has a broad mission which focuses primarily on education and the ongoing process of uplifting pu'uhonua o waimanalo and the hawaiian culture. Many successes have been accomplished. The aloha quest educast, a 6 hour television and webcast production in 1999 was very successful. More recently aloha first signed a 55 year lease for 45 acres to accommodate many families once houseless and living at makapuu beach. Also, aloha first plays an active role in gathering the hawaiian kupuna(elders) from all islands for education forums.
