During the 10-week Hoʻokuaʻāīna internship, I feel that Iʻve grown in two significant regions: cultivating my physical abilities and knowledge base as a mahiʻai or farmer, a garnering the values, and communicative skills needed to be a servant leader within the Kānaka Maoli and global community.
From learning how to build loʻi, to harvesting kalo, and leading our younger/older school, community, and visiting groups was a great inspiration as to how an organization can both function to grow food and people simultaneously.
