Hui Aloha ʻĀina Momona Non-Profit 501(c)3

Aloha kakou,

We have finally gotten our non-profit status.  We need your help to continue teaching and making paʻiʻai available in our communities.  Thus far our voyage has been for the most part self funded and although times maybe tight, we continually live being blessed.  In order for this movement to continue to grow our non-profit has been created as an avenue to acquire land and water to grow kalo and umbrella the kalo pounding clubs across the islands.  If you would like to be apart of this, please contact us eat@manaai.com or 808 542-1326.

These are a few thing we currently could use in our educational workshop:

20 Clean wooden calabashes – 8″ and 12″ Philippine made bowls are great – they cost about $10-15each new

10 brand new 5 gallon buckets with lids – $6-8 each at any hardware store

1 Electric power washer 1500 – 1800 psi (lowes $170)

10 plastic folding stools 300lbs compacity – City Mill $20 each

2 Plastic folding tables 3ʻ – 6ʻ

10 – bath size towels

Mahalo nui for your time and consideration.
