Hoʻokuaʻāina + Global Village Community Day

Posted on Oct 06, 2019

What an amazing and fulfilling day at Hoʻokuaʻāina! Windward Sunrise Rotary Club members and local community groups learned about the history, culture, planting, caring for, and harvesting of taro at this beautiful traditional farm. It was truly a wonderful experience to work our āina together and learning hands-on about traditional Hawai'ian cultivation methods. Mahalo to all those who joined us... Did we mention we got to hang out with ducklings and toads? Be sure to check out WSRC Rotarian and Global Village owner Dawn's "Better to Give" program and we hope to have you join us next time!

Indonesia International Project Donation

Posted on Oct 05, 2019

Windward Sunrise Rotarians have now officially contributed to the Rotary District 5000 Bali International Service Project! District Governor Nominee Sandy Matsui of the Kaneohe Club has graciously agreed to transport the funds to Bali safely and directly. Though our own club members are unable to attend this time, we will still make an impact by offsetting the costs by sponsoring the three project sites: Jodie O'Shea, Kolewa, and Puspadi Bali. Mahalo to each Rotarian for your generosity in giving to our club, ensuring we can help keiki across the globe on their way to a better life. Rotary connects the world! Come see how you can do good in the world and in our local community with Rotary.

"Fall Into Kailua" Blocktoberfest 2019

Posted on Sep 28, 2019

What an amazing turnout for the first Blocktoberfest in Kailua! Thousands of residents and families came out to support their community—and your Windward Sunrise Rotary club was right in the action! We had a great time showing the community what Rotary stands for, what we do locally and internationally, along with some fun games and candy for the keiki. Mahalo to all who stopped by to say hello! A big thank you to David, Sarah, Lorianna, Micayla, Sandy, Gerry (and Khaleesi the Rotary Puppy), Lori, Luke, Lauren, Cat, Herb, and Allie for giving your time to support your community by making this event a success.

Kahauiki Village Houseless Project Donation

Posted on Aug 20, 2019

The second phase of the Kahauiki Village project has started, and 30 formerly houseless families are in the process of moving into their new, sustainable homes! Houselessness has a significant impact on the health and well being of our keiki, including the parents’ ability to find jobs and retain steady employment. Reducing family homelessness can only be achieved through a coordinated and collaborative approach that provides at-risk families the help they need, when they need it the most.

Kahauiki Village is a groundbreaking initiative that maximizes public and private resources to implement a long-term strategy aimed to help houseless families attain and permanently retain homes for their own families and children, and obtain employment opportunities within walking distance for these parents.

The Windward Sunrise Rotary Club donated $200 to help support these resident families with a full home starter kit, including a microwave, to help the transition into their new homes and establish their new lives at Kahauiki Village! Mahalo to our club members for their support of this important Oahu initiative for our neighbors!
