MALAMA DE KEIKI THANKSGIVING CELEBRATION

KAUI KAUHI AND FRIENDS MALAMA DE KEIKI
THANKSGIVING CELEBRATION
WAIMANALO, HAWAII

So proud of what my friend Kaui Kauhi does for his hometown of Waimanalo.  Each year he rallies his friends, family and local business owners to provide gifts and a Thanksgiving meal for the children (Keiki) and families in Waimanalo.  Everything comes from his heart and everything is donated with no tax write off or deduction.  Just local people coming together to do something good.  Kaui works tiressly to organize this event that includes hundreds of toys, bikes, food, haircuts and positive role models for any family that shows up.  It is the true spirit of Aloha that I am so proud to be a part of.  So very proud of Kaui too.  The man came from nothing and gives more than anyone I know.  All just to help the children of the town where he grew up in and lives.  He asks for nothing in return and tries with all his heart to instill positive thoughts and faith in every child.  All of the adults formed a circle around the kids for a prayer.  Then Kaui made all of the kids go around the circle and hug and thank every adult who was there.  He wanted them to show their gratitude to those who provided everything around them.  Truly a special moment in Hawaii.

GIVING BACK

KAUI KAUHI AND FRIENDS
MALAMA DA KEIKI
ANNUAL THANKSGIVING

So blessed to be able to support my friend Kaui Kauhi's Annual Thanksgiving Celebration that provides food and toys to the underprivileged children (Keiki) of Waimanalo.  Kaui is truly one of the most loving and giving people I have ever met.  He started this as a small gathering for neighborhood kids that could not afford a Thanksgiving dinner and it has now grown to something big with hundreds of kids and families attending.  All of the donations come from local companies and individuals who just want to help out and give back.  Each year I buy 10 bikes and lots of toys for the kids and then we cook up a lot of Baked Hams for the event.
