Boys To Men Oahu

Oct 01, 2019 7:15 AM

"It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men." - Frederick Douglas

Boys to Men is a group mentoring program that provides positivity, guidance, support, and safety in boys’ lives. In the absence of healthy mentorship, boys are at risk of becoming disconnected from their community. This poses an enormous danger to the community. Boys to Men group mentors sit in circle weekly with these boys, providing connection, hope, and support.

Global Village + Rotary Hoʻokuaʻāina Community Day
Oct 05, 2019

Volunteering at Kapalai is an experience that takes you back in time to the days of the kuaʻāina when caring for the ʻāina and producing food were the norm. Learn the traditional way of cultivating kalo and what it takes to be a mahiʻai (farmer) of this important food source in today’s modern world.

Let's get dirty and help preserve Hawaii's history and environmental legacies! This project will feature work in lo'i, pulling weeds out of the taro patches, recirculating the mud, and connecting with our 'aina. Volunteers will get knee deep in the action!

You might experience hot sun or pouring rain. Be prepared for both. The lo’i is located in the headwaters of Kawainui Marsh and is a natural wetland with all kinds of wildlife. Expect to encounter tadpoles, guppies, frogs and a variety of beautiful bird species. You will have an incredible encounter with nature in a beautiful and serene setting. The work is challenging and the mud is deep. Integrated into your day will be meaningful Hawaiian values and lessons to make your time rich and memorable.

Bring an adventurous spirit, towel, old and comfortable clothes (shorts and t-shirt) - old swimsuits are best to wear underneath your clothes to make rinse off easier, plastic bag for wet clothes, water bottle, hat, no shoes required in lo’i.

Lunch will be provided after by Kailua's own Global Village boutique.

Helen Jaccard

Veterans For Peace, Golden Rule Project

Nov 19, 2019 7:15 AM

In 1958, four Quakers sailed Golden Rule, a small ketch, from Los Angeles towards the Marshall Islands Pacific Proving Ground in an attempt to stop nuclear bomb tests. Although the crew was arrested in Honolulu, the public outcry over their detention helped convince President Kennedy to sign the Limited
Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1963. Now, spurred by the renewed possibilities of nuclear weapons use, the restored Golden Rule is sailing the Pacific on an educational mission of Peace in the Pacific. 

Helen will show a 10-minute documentary film about the boat and mission with an update on the voyage!
