Ola Nā KiniMālama Learning Center launched Ola Nā Kini, a program designed to heal the land, ocean, and multitude of life through engagement and education.
Ola Nā Kini emerged on the slopes of the southern Waiʻanae mountains, bringing back life-giving plants to places where they once thrived. Ola Nā Kini involves students, teachers, cultural practitioners, community members, scientists, resource managers, and visitors through hands-on, place-based education with real-world applications. |
|
“Ola Nā Kini,” comes from a verse from a traditional Hawaiian pule (prayer), which can be translated to “life for the multitude.” The multitude may refer to people as well as elements of nature. The pule seeks to bring life of good deeds for all. Mahalo to Sam ʻOhukaniʻōhiʻa Gon for inspiring us to name this initiative Ola Nā Kini.
