CONGRATULATIONS TO DAVID KALILI 2023 HMSA Kaimana Scholarship Recipient
We are always proud when our youth succeed spectacularly in representing the MANA of our community and bring honor to his family and his school !!
With all the risk-factors, all of the poor demographics, and all of the challenges faced by our keiki, it is extremely refreshing to see such an encouraging success story from the Waianae Coast.
As Principal Pilialoha (Nanakuli High & Intermediate) stated, “Mr. Kalili was raised in a family who has a sincere sense of service. This strong belief in community has been instilled in him from a very young age. Not only is he a great student, he is a great person.”
We congratulate Mr. Kalili and wish him all the best !
