Over two years in the neighborhood, the junior youth are turning into youth and the kids are now entering middle school! The group is still strong, but now with a focus on th equality of the program, making changes to ensure the effectiveness in empowering these young people.
The group is now smaller with a much tighter bond and a greater enthusiasm for service and self-empowerment.
"Malama Aina Girls" is the name the junior youth have chosen to call themselves :)
We had a GREAT, AWESOME winter camp a few months ago-> along with the other junior youth groups from around Oahu. (pics up soon I hope!)

Breezes of Confirmation
Na 'Opio are slowly going through the book Breezes of Confirmation - a story devided into different lessons with corresponding activities. The story is of a girl in Africa (Musonda) and her family.
The book is one aspect of the program and it serves as a springboard to talk-story sessions about different ideas na 'opio face, especially at this age (discovering their talents, making choices, and thinking about what they'd like to do later in life- and especially about service to their families and community).

Na Hoku 'Ula ~ Keiki Classes
In February we began our weekly keiki program called Na Hoku 'Ula (Radiant Stars), held right before the junior youth program every Friday evening.

Another class with a team-work blindfolded art activity:
Activities for team-building and working together!
(Classes are free for any keiki ages 4 to 10. Please contact us if you would like your keiki to attend so we can get you the registration form. Spread the word! Every Friday evening at the center!)
