Makahiki '08

Each year Hakipuu Learning Center host a Makahiki Event at Kualoa Park on the Windward side of O'ahu to share and perpetuate the Hawaiian Culture with Hawaii's students. This year the Makahiki was held on Thursday, Nov. 13, 2008. Two charter schools and 1 private school came to participate. Halau Lokahi, Halau Kumana, and Punahou Elementry joined in the festivities. The day was filled with Hawaiian culture games, entertainment, and food. It was a perfect day for being outdoors and everyone enjoyed themselves. HLC documented the event with video and pictures and the tech team is working hard editing the video to share on this blog and with others.
