KAHEA FOR KŌKUA — GRADUATION WEEK
Hui ʻohana! Sending out a reminder to anyone who wanted to kōkua with our Holomua Outreach Workforce Development Cohort Graduation this week.
We are in the final stretch and could still use some support as we prepare to celebrate and honor our graduates and everything they have accomplished over the last 6 months.
MONETARY DONATIONS
We are still accepting monetary donations to help cover food and miscellaneous graduation costs. Every contribution helps us create a celebration our cohorts deserve.
LAʻI DONATIONS — TUESDAY
If you offered laʻi, I can meet up tomorrow (Tuesday)to collect. If possible, we would greatly appreciate the laʻi already cleaned and prepped off the stem so we can get straight to making lei. Please message me to coordinate.
CROWN FLOWER — THURSDAY
I can collect crown flower donations Thursday. If you have the time to clean and prep the flowers beforehand, that would be incredibly helpful so our hands can focus on making lei together. Please message me to coordinate.
KAHEA TO FILL OUR GRADUATE GIFT BAGS
We are also looking for donations to fill gift bags for our cohort graduates — small gifts, locally made items, snacks, self-care items, gift cards, or anything you would like to contribute to celebrate and honor them.
These past six months have been about much more than completing a workforce program. Our cohorts have worked, learned, served community, pushed through barriers, built new skills, and continued showing up for one another.
Mahalo for supporting grassroots. Mahalo for believing in our people. Mahalo for believing in this program and the work we are building through Holomua Outreach.
Every donation, every lei, every gift, every meal, and every hand that kōkua helps us remind our graduates that their growth, their work, and their journey deserve to be celebrated.
Me ke aloha nui.
Mōʻī Kawaakoa
