Haleiwa, O'ahu to Kaula Rock - June 2004

200-mile environmental awareness paddle Haleiwa, O'ahu
to Kaula Rock on the South side of Ni'ihau

  This will be the conclusion to Kai Makana's vision of unifying the islands with the understanding that we all need to learn to take care of our ocean, and that by doing so, take care of one another.


Nahina

  Nahina Lee Loy and Vaimana Connor represents the next generation of paddlers who will be joining Kai Makana's founder, Donna Kahakui to promote awareness for the need to take care of our ocean. They will paddle approximately 200-miles to bring awareness to the necessity of caring for our seas, as well as raise funds to help teach Hawaii's students about the importance of clean water and clean oceans.

  The money raised will be used to fund water quality testing units that will be used by students and organizations to test the streams and oceans of various ahupua'a around our islands, as well as fund a youth environmental summer program for children participating in the PACT program at Kuhio Park Terrace.
