Youthful Celebration

Kainani Waits, 11, performs hula with keiki from Kilohana School.  The girls performed as part of the 5th annual Keiki Expo held at Mitchell Pauole Center.  
This year’s theme was ‘Opihi and highlights included the “Diaper Dash” and a reading of ‘Kai the ‘Opihi Gets the Point’ by Molokai’s own Gail Shima Omoto.
 Despite the hot day, hundreds of Molokai keiki took part.  Inside the pavilion, parents were able to sign their keiki up for preschool and take advantage of support services from the Department of Health and many other organizations.
