Aloha friends and colleagues,
Although the great Japanese tragedy that occurred in March deserves our attention, many have forgotten about our very own Polynesian family. On February 22, 2011, a devastating earthquake struck Otautahi and the much of the community is still living without electricity, adequate medical care, food and support to rebuild their lives.
I would like to personally invite you to attend a video presentation at 6 pm on Friday, May 6th 2011 in support of the efforts of Kapu Na Keiki, a small group of young people that went to Otautahi, Aotearoa also known as Christchurch, New Zealand to support our cousins in their time of need. Among the group were first aid responders, journalists, laborers, and scholars. The six-person crew went down as a self-sufficient mobile unit to offer relief.
We hope to increase awareness of the needs of Christchurch earthquake relief and recovery issues and its relevance to Hawaii.
PLEASE JOIN US IF YOU CAN
