Project Hawai'i, Inc.

Aloha all, 
Project Hawai'i is  a 100% volunteer run non-profit organization solely supported by public donations. 100% of all donations directly benefit our Hawaii homeless and poverty stricken children. 
May 27th 2017, I will run 100 miles of the Big Island in Hawai'i with the intention of seeing Hawaii as she truely is and sharing the journey on social media. This will be thru a verified and sanctioned UltraRun Ep1cman 100. Often I am running thru the piece of Hawaii carefully constructed to be hidden from tourism. It is all to common for these children to drop out of school when recently displaced, to become homeless, or to be raised in and out of homeless situations. . often dealing with hunger, malnutriton, and lack of proper hygiene or clothing. 

Project Hawai'i, Inc.'s motto is - One might not be able to change where they came from, but one change where they are going.
 As well as doing annual events such as 
Healthy Hearts for Homeless Keiki, Easter Celebrations, Spring Break, Mother's Day Events, Summer Camp, Back to School Support, Teen Mentoring, Make a Difference Day, Turn Hawai'i Purple-Stop Child Abuse, Halloween Costume Workshop, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Holiday Events. The also have a Monthly Outreach Goals of Enhancing the lives of homeless keiki.... by Providing Nutritional Hot Meals, Food Boxes
teaching Life Skills, providing Personal Hygiene bags, New Shoes/Outfits, giving HOPE and Self-esteem, Emergency Support and general Life Necessities. They assure that no child goes without, and strive to keep updated on the newly homeless keiki while keeping track of the ones who have been displaced.

Being a part of the Hawaii islands has greatly deepened my love for its lands, but also broken my heart time and time again in those displaced and struggling to survive here. Be a part of my journey around the Big Island and help me make a difference for the Hawaii youth, who's innocence deserves to go to bed with a stable location, clean clothes, and enough food to not be hungry.

Mahalo!

Project Hawaii, Inc. is a local charity whose mission is to enhance the lives of homeless keiki (native Hawaiian word for children).  They provide much needed help and resources to break the cycle and help these kids escape the cycle of poverty.
 
For the third year in a row myself and several other fellow service members, are getting our coworkers and families to sponsor us in marching 20 miles, while carrying 50 pound ruck sacks on our backs to raise money for Project Hawaii. We are trying to do more than just raise awareness for these children, we are trying to help a charity that gets in there and actually makes a difference that can be seen.  Why would we put on boots and carry 50 pounds and march 20 miles you ask? Because we see and believe in the difference Project Hawaii makes for these children.  These numbers are significant because 20 miles is the length of the Waianae district, which holds the largest population of homeless children in Hawaii.  50 pounds is the average weight of a healthy and well-nourished seven-year-old child.  This was to symbolize us trying to do our part to carry them out of their situation.

This year on November 2nd, we are going to make the same long march in support of this great charity.  Last year we raised more than the year before; help us continue this trend. We anticipate more people making the march and hope to raise more funds for the keiki.  We would be proud and delighted if anyone could help donate to this great cause and share this around to get the word out.

Here is Project Hawaii's website to learn more about the wonderful things they do.

On July 4th, 2014 Myself and 4 others from Delta Company 53rd Signal Battalion 1st Space Brigade, got our coworkers and families to sponsor us in marching 20 miles, while carrying 55 pound ruck sacks on our backs to raise money for Project Hawaii. Why would we put on boots and carry 55 pounds and march 20 miles you ask? Beacuse we see and believe in the difference Project Hawaii makes for these children.  These numbers are significant because 20 miles is the length of the Waianae district, which holds the largest population of homeless children in Hawaii.  55 pounds is the average weight of a healthy and well nourished seven  year old child.   This was to symbloize us trying to do our part to carry them out of their situation.

This year on September 4th we are going to make the same long march in support of this great charity.  We anticipate more people making the march and hope to raise more funds for the keiki.  We would be proud and delighted if anyone could help donate to this great cause.
