Wearable Art and Big Hearts: Punahou Students Donate to KHF in Support of School Gardens

Posted On: Jun 01, 11

After assisting with one of the ‘AINA IS garden lessons at ‘Aikahi Elementary School this spring, Punahou sophomore students Emily Hamocon and Malia Smith were inspired to do more in support of school gardens. Through donations received in exchange for their very own hand-made jewelry, Emily and Malia together raised over $700, which they generously presented to the Kōkua Hawai’i Foundation on May 21 at the ‘Aikahi Elementary School ‘AINA IS Garden Party. A huge mahalo goes out to these generous and entrepreneurial artisans and each of their supporters! Thanks also to the Punahou School Luke Center for Public Service for making the connection and inspiring the giving spirit.
