Ulu La'au Project
No Vote, No Grumble made an appearance at Tutu and Me Traveling Preschool's Ula La'au Project, sponsored by Kokua Hawai'i Foundation, Partners in Development Foundation, and Community Works in 96744. Here's an excerpt from the invitation.
In ancient Hawaii the bedrock of a community was traditions and planting. The taro symbolized a family unit - it's main root is surrounded by offspring shoots, topped by spreading green leaves, with rich soil and leaves protecting it's surrounding bank.
Ancient Hawaii had two seasons and twelve lunar months. Kau were warm months with trade winds to harvest. Ho'oilo are cooler months for planting. Planting generally took place in lunar months of February and March.
Tutu and me Traveling Preschool will honor this ancient tradition by planting native tree's at Kahalu'u KEY Project on March 10, 2010.It was a great turn out today. We were able to get a few people to register there on site and many took the WikiWiki pamphlet home to fill out. To top it off, The Ulu La'au Project brought in a Jack Johnson representing his Kokua Hawai'i Foundation, to perform for the keiki! How awesome!
Napua Kahawaiola'a, Bernie Cacoulidis, and their Tutu and Me team did an awesome job today. Mahalo to them for inviting No Vote, No Grumble to partake in today's event. Looking forward to the next No Vote, No Grumble event!
