The Spirit of Family

This inspiring, lavishly illustrated story of Hawa'ii wisdom keeper Kimokeo Kapahelehua nurtures the spirit of "family" ('ohana), using the outrigger paddling community as its focus. It will inspire young readers to appreciate the connective spirit of family and the shared companionship in this growing sport.

The foundation partners with Maui's Hawai'ian immersion schools, helping secure school sites and providing educational support. Their belief: "If we don't preserve our native language, how will our culture survive?"
