About 2,500 students started their first day of the fall semester at 东精影业<\/abbr> Maui College on August 28. Their start was delayed by a week because of the devastating impact of the Maui wildfires. <\/p>\n

东精影业<\/abbr> Maui College has already been helping the community there to heal. The campus has turned the Student Lounge into a Disaster Recovery Center<\/a>, housing a FEMA assistance location, the U.S. Small Business Administration and the American Red Cross, all to help Maui residents. The college\u2019s Pāʻina<\/span> Building has served as a food preparation hub since August 10<\/a>, feeding thousands of displaced residents every day.<\/p>\n

In his August 26 column in The Maui News<\/em><\/a>, Chancellor Lui Hokoana wrote: “Like everyone on Maui, I and the entire staff, faculty and administration of UH Maui College are mourning the tragic loss of life, livelihoods, property and the whole of the historic town of Lahaina. We stand firm and ready to support our campus ʻohana<\/span> and our community at large as we face the future.”<\/p>\n

The statewide vigil was organized by Rediscovering Hawaiʻi\u2019s<\/span> Soul, an initiative of the Hawaiʻi<\/span> Executive Collaboration, and was described as “centered on emotional and spiritual healing that is rooted in Native Hawaiian practices with leaders from diverse faiths.” Ceremonies from Oʻahu,<\/span> Hawaiʻi<\/span> Island, Molokaʻi<\/span> and Kauaʻi<\/span> were also live streamed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
