LITERACY VOLUNTEERS!

Next day is Saturday

March 8th

It was a wonderful turn out! Your time made an impact for good! Volunteers and kids enjoyed story time and crafting!

Saturday Story Hours at KPT. One Saturday per month, for 2 hours, to provide fun activities and stories to the kids who live at KPT.

From Director Nancy Youngren:

Kong hei fat choy!

8 Rotarians and 2 friends of Rotary jumpstarted our Club’s renewed partnership with Hawai’i Literacy with a group of children at Kuhio Park Towers. Our Linda read a story about lion dancers then the children (and Rotarians!) made Chinese lion hand puppets. Get in on the fun every second Saturday of the month.

For more details on how you can participate, contact Community Services Chair Nancy Youngren HERE. Mahalo!

Have you been to Centennial Park in Waikiki? It really has come a long way from being an empty lot filled with garbage to the beautiful, grassy, family friendly park it is today!

Here are some links to read or do your own search - loads to see and read!
