NA MELE - Richard Ho‘opi‘i and George Kahumoku Jr.
Richard Ho‘opi‘i and George Kahumoku Jr. walked into the PBS Hawaii studio, sat down with their instruments, and began to play. George, with his mellow slack key guitar and soothing voice, performing alongside Richard, with his never ending smile and his beautiful falsetto, offered song after song, with talk story in-between. This impromptu concert can only be described as pure joy.

Lyrics:
Give my love to Pele she's my goddess she's my only one
B.I. in the building represent the kama'aina son
808, everyday, everywhere, every way
flew it out to JFK and brought it back to Hilo Bay
Rest in peace to the deceased i think about my grandma often
every time they hear my music you will never be forgotten
used to think, life was younger than an ultrasound
funny how a night can go and change your life around
drive by bullets should've put me on the ocean floor
back up on my feet i look at life and then i ask for more
more than pain, more than shame, more than human weakness
i'm just grateful for the chance to put these verses through the speakers
grateful for my friends and family, local even overseas
28 years old I got no kids I got no STDs
stackin resumes, licenses on top degrees
rap game, campaign, got it all in front of me
cause i try, to make the world a better place
that's in spite, of obstacles i seem to face
rapper slash architect, hold up let me bring that back
architect, rapper and i'm dapper be at peace with that!
peace to all my enemies, didn't want me to succeed
proving haters wrong since i was born in 1983
i was born with purpose, making haters nervous
bring that weight from the 808 and drop it on these verses!
ho'o mau kau kau?
all my people are you ready now? (hana hou!) said
ho'o mau kau kau?
local boy is in the buildin and i came to make my people proud
living in a wrong world, tryna do the right thing
island boy, no ka oi, this is not a pipe dream
how he just gon rap on the track, drop another verse double time bring it back
how he just gon rap on the track,
got rhymes on my mind, and my mind is stacked
full deck i'm just dealin cards that i've been given
make the most of what i got and what i got is good for livin
not about the money or the profit entertainment you know I just wanna help out all the future generations
care about the children and the way that they be livin
they deserve more opportunities than i was ever given
I do this for Hawaii and I do this for my family
if i lost you now, one day i hope you understand me
This one for the underdogs, keep it real and keep it raw
odds are stacked against us but together we will never fall
stickin to the game plan, passin through the mainland
going home where i belong, i'm tired of all the pain fam!
ho'o mau kau kau?
all my people are you ready now? (hana hou!) said
ho'o mau kau kau?
local boy is in the buildin and i came to make my people proud!

Happy Monday loves. I am sharing with you a little bit of our drive and fun from our trip into Hana last week for the Taro Fest. It was lots of fun and I'm sorry I didn't record more but we were so busy having fun I completely forgot.
On that day we went to the Hana Maui Taro Festival and then stopped off at Hana bag to swim in the ocean and Wai'anapanapa State Park to go swim in the Wai'anapanapa Caves. My son actually dived in for the first time and loved it so much he wouldn't stop. lol We then drove home after... it was such a fun day. This is just a short video and some of the drive back home... hope you enjoy!

PBS Hawaii - HIKI NŌ Episode 705 | Waiakea Inter. School | ‘Ike Pono | Full Program
Premiere Airdate: November 12, 2015
This episode is the fifth in a series of six shows in which each episode focuses on a specific Hawaiian value. The Hawaiian value for this show is ‘ike pono, which means to know what is right. Each of the following stories reflects this theme:
The top story comes from the students at Maui Waena Intermediate School who feature Christopher Malik Cousins, owner of the Farmacy Health Bar in Wailuku, Maui. Cousins had been a troubled youth, often in trouble with the law and even living on the streets. Being fed at Saint Theresa’s Church in Kihei eventually inspired him to do the right thing and open his own health food restaurant. His motivation for opening the business was not to make money, but to provide his family and community with healthy snacks, to employ people who need a helping hand (like he did), and to encourage his customers to “pay-it-forward” by contributing to a program that helps to feed the hungry with healthy foods. “I went from someone who wasn’t doing Maui any good to someone who is making a difference,” says Cousins.
Also featured are student-created stories from the following schools:
Waianae Intermediate School (Oahu): Sosefina Matautia, once a self-professed bully at Waianae Intermediate School, decided to do the right thing and change her ways. While becoming a kinder, better person benefitted those around her, Sosefina was motivated to change because of her own dreams of someday becoming a doctor.
Seabury Hall Middle School (Maui): Led by math teacher Debi Davis, Seabury Hall Middle School students do the right thing for the less fortunate by weaving colorful yarn hats that are distributed around the world to help brighten the lives of underprivileged children.
Kealakehe High School (Hawaii Island): Students and other community members in Kona do the right thing by banding together to build Habitat for Humanity homes for families on the Hawaiian Homes wait list.
Waianae High School (Oahu): Sometimes doing what you know is right requires great sacrifice. Sometimes doing what is right means doing less for yourself. Such is the case with Waianae High School student Daisy Agae, whose grades suffer because she has to take care of her two younger brothers, one of whom is a special needs child born with debilitating medical conditions.
Hawaii Preparatory Academy (Hawaii Island): Hawaii Island resident William ”Black” Abraham was headed down the wrong path as a young adult, until he decided to do the right thing and dedicate his life to saving lives. He did so by becoming an Ocean Safety Officer at Hapuna Beach and is now inspiring the next generation of lifesavers through his Junior Lifeguard training program.
Kamehameha Schools Maui High (Maui): An East Maui couple do the right thing by taking in and caring for animals with debilitating and life-threatening illnesses. As a result, their home has become the East Maui Animal Refuge, more affectionately known as the Boo-Boo Zoo. This episode is hosted by Waiakea Intermediate School in Hilo, Hawaii.
PBS Hawaii - HIKI NŌ Episode 415 | Hosted by Maryknoll School | Full Program V2
Premiere Airdate: February 21, 2013
Students from Maryknoll School in Honolulu host this week's show. A story from Maui's Hana K-12 School features its very first football team - and the girl who became one of its linebackers. On Oahu, drama students at Farrington High School share how acting changed their lives.
This episode also features student stories from: Kamehameha Schools - Hawaii (Hawaii Island); Ke Kula Niihau O Kekaha (Kauai); Lokelani Intermediate School and Maui Waena Intermediate School on Maui; and Campbell High School (Oahu).
Lessons for a positive and healthier life. ROAR Respect School Assembly – Hawaii
We just had Al The Respect Guy, to do a presentation for us at our school and we just totally loved him. He helped our students to remember what they’re learning and to be able to respect others and act responsibly.
My principal actually told me that she liked how Al presented because of the way that he covered so many different areas that we’ve been talking about here at the school. Then he was the person to water those seeds that we have been planting all these many years.
I spoke with another staff as well, and she did tell me how much she loved it and she saw how the kids really enjoyed the show and if we could bring him back every year. So we just totally loved Al and I hope that the other students at the other schools will also find the joy that he brings and all of these lessons that he brings to help our students to stay in a positive and healthier happier life.
Thank you Al for being with us, helping our students to grow and developed to be more positive with the anti-bullying and helping our whole community. Thank you.”
