Review for Project Hawai'i, Inc., Kea'au, HI, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I was taking my granddaughter shopping for a few fun items at the local Walmart. I ran across a group of young children holding signs and fishnets collecting money for "Homeless Keiki". I was actually truly interested in what this program was about. I feel it is important for my children and grandchildren to understand what is going on where we live, and in our community. So, I from the parking lot, I walked my granddaughter to the sidewalk to talk to one of the volunteers. This volunteer was the father of a one of the young children holding the signs. This volunteers was actually a client at one time and shared his experience with me and my granddaughter. He stated that without this program his children would not be as successful in school as they are now, they would not have the hope a better future that they have now, and they would not know the meaning of true care and compassion like they do now.
While is no longer living in the car with his children, he feels connected to this program. He feels it is the least he can do, give back to those who helped his family so much. I was touched.
I did realize that the director and her family were on the road as well. I am glad I was actually able to talk to the children and the father of those who this program helped, rather than the director herself. It is a wonderful experience to see good works in action. It was my pleasure to make a donation. I truly hope that the community takes the time to truly understand the importance of Project Hawai'i, Inc.
I know for my family, we will continue to keep updated and provide donations when possible.
