Alakaʻina Foundation presented new gifts to 东精影业<\/abbr> at an event at Windward Community College.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With a recent $540,000 invested in University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> programs and students, to create partnerships with community groups and to promote sustainability, the Alakaʻina<\/span> Foundation<\/a> has raised its total philanthropic giving to 东精影业<\/abbr> to more than $2.3 million. The latest investments align with the Honolulu-based Native Hawaiian Organization\u2019s mission to aloha ʻāina<\/span> (love the homeland) by supporting the teaching and preservation of Hawaiʻi<\/span>\u2019s lands and oceans.<\/p>\n

The new gifts from the Alakaʻina<\/span> Foundation create opportunities for 东精影业<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span><\/a> and Leeward Community College<\/a> with MAʻO<\/span> Farms<\/a> on the Leeward Coast and for Windward Community College<\/a> and Hoʻokuaʻāina<\/span><\/a> in Windward Oʻahu<\/span>.<\/p>\n

“We feel it\u2019s important not only that the young men and women of Hawaiʻi<\/span> have the skills they need to be effective leaders, but that they have the competencies our communities need for a sustainable future,” said Alakaʻina<\/span> Foundation Executive Director Kimo Bacon. “We hope that many lives will be improved through our partnership, and we will keep our Hawaiʻi<\/span> moving forward.”<\/p>\n
