We are embarking on a new Middle School Pocket Academy that focuses on PBL through Hawaiian agricultural traditions. Our goal is to cultivate land on our campus using traditional Hawaiian farming methods while enriching it with other indigenous farming models, aquaponics, and permaculture elements that move away from the modern industrial farming methods.
With your donations, we can help our students reconnect with our eldest ancestor - our land, and foster a relationship of respect, nurturing, and caring through hands-on, old fashioned, fingers in the rich dirt learning. Our school is located on Hawaiian homestead land, and for many of our families, the only food security they know is from the grocery market. We wish to change the narrative and restore the purpose that HRH Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole had when he established our homestead: grow food to sustain our families. We wish to share and revive traditional agricultural techniques and practices on our campus, while adapting and supplementing it with modern tools and methods, with the end goal of transferring that learning to the home.
