THE PUA KAIAULU PROGRAM EXPERIENCES
KUMU KEAHI’s LEGISLATIVE BOOTCAMP WORKSHOP !!
What a fantastic time was had by all the students in the Pua Kaiaulu Program as they underwent an extremely intensive Legislative training “bootcamp” workshop at the Hawai’i State Capitol under the tutelage of my Chief of Staff, Kumu Keahi Renaud. The program involved Kamaile Academy, Nanakuli High & Intermediate School, Wai’anae High School Kapolei Charter School, as well as Hawai’i Technology Academy and the many alumni, teachers, and mentors of these schools.
MAHALO NUI TO EACH AND ALL OF YOU who took the time to come visit and learn about the State Capitol and the important work that we do to improve the Wai’anae Coast and the Good State of Hawai’i nei ~ MAILE
