Veterans Center: Fight to Finish

 

Seven years after Molokai veterans began the process to construct a center to call their own, the building is finally nearing completion. The group was granted a County of Maui building permit in May 2011 after years of permitting delays, lawsuits, protests and jumping through bureaucratic hoops. With the permit finally in hand, frustration turned to relief — but little did veterans know that two years later, the building still would not be complete.

Caring for Keiki

Bouncing to the beat of Zumba music, Molokai keiki waved their arms to mirror Zumba teacher Kananikala Bishaw-Juario at the eighth annual Molokai Keiki Expo last Saturday. Youth showed off their hula talent and babies clambered toward victory in a crawling contest, as parents learned tools to better support their children’s future. 

The event was put on by the Molokai Keiki Group, an organization designed to integrate the island’s early childhood providers, families and community partners. At the Expo, ohana and keiki explored booths from safety, health, education and activity-based local organizations revolving around youth. 

“It’s all about the kids,” said event organizer Lori-Lei Rawlins-Crivello.
