“Ho’oulu Ka ‘Ike, to grow with knowledge.
My Natalie has gone from ballet before the pandemic to the steerswoman
for Hawaiian Outrigger Voyaging Society’s remote learning center.
What an amazing opportunity and what a wonderful young lady
to be completely open to the full bounty of this group of people
who are sharing their knowledge and rich culture with her.
As a result of an invitation I received, that I was able to take advantage of
because of the pandemic, Natalie and I were introduced to the joy of paddling
and adopted into the family of the wa’a.
She has had the opportunity to be mentored by Anela,
a woman I have much admiration and respect for.
This ‘ohana has lavished love and true gifts on her. My heart overflows with joy that
she is of a substance to receive and appreciate genuine riches when they’re offered to her.”
