My Project

I’ve initiated a project to build a classroom library for a second-grade class at King Kamehameha III Elementary School in Lahaina. This effort is especially meaningful given that our school recently suffered devastating fires and had to relocate. By creating a vibrant library space, we aim to provide students with a refuge for their imaginations and a crucial resource for learning. Our goal is to equip these young minds with a diverse range of books to inspire curiosity, support their educational growth, and help them heal and thrive in their new environment. Your support in this endeavor will make a significant difference in restoring a sense of normalcy and excitement in their learning experience.

Books are invaluable for students, sparking curiosity and imagination while enhancing critical thinking and vocabulary.

They open doors to diverse perspectives and experiences, fostering empathy and personal growth. Engaging with books makes learning enjoyable and boosts confidence, enriching students' educational journeys.
