Tsunami Warning

Hey everyone, it's about 9:30am here in Hawaii and a lot of excitement statewide due to the tsunami warning. I live on the coast line in Kaaawa on O'ahu and had to evacuate. Mike, myself and our girls (puppies) all left home and hanging out with family in Kaneohe awaiting more information from Tsunami Center. I do believe we are now in a safe area for now, only time will tell.

There has been many reports of craziness on our roads, in our stores, and at our gas stations. Thankfully, we filled our cars recently with gas because when we passed the 7-11 gas station in Kahaluu this morning that line was over 20 cars long and wrapping around the both corners of the property. I did not want to stop at all. On the leeward side of O'ahu from Nanakuli to Makaha there have been reports of gas stations closing due to them running out of gas. Fortunately, there has been no reports of violence which is good. Hopefully, everyone can just support eachother and share the ALOHA spirit during this dangerous time. I wish the best to everyone in Hawaii and other areas of the pacific. Be safe out there. Aloha.

Hello Again


Aloha mai kakou (greetings to all), it has been almost a year since my last posting and much has happen within that time. Many changes in staff and student enrollment. Some have moved on to other adventures and challenges in their lives and some just needed a change. Regardless what it was Hakipuu Learning Center (HLC) is still here working toward our mission of, "Grounding traditions and wisdom of the Hawaiian culture, striving to develop in each child the ability to engage in critical thinking, applying creative problem solving approaches, and demonstrate a mastery of the academic tools by demonstrating a mastery of the academic tools and positive values necessary to fully engage in life-long learning and make informed life choices for a successful future."

Working at HLC can be very fulfilling, beneficial, and challenging. Overall, I enjoy it. It's nice to be appreciated for what I do and look forward to coming to work most of the times. :) My goal for this blog is to post at least 2 entries a week and share more about our operation here at HLC.
