Annual R e p o r t
T
his year we celebrate the 20th anniversary of Partners in Development Foundation. From its beginning, PIDF has been passionately committed to helping children and families to find success and to experience in their lives the power of traditional Hawaiian values and perspectives within our contemporary world. Tens of thousands of people have been touched by the work of hundreds of my colleagues and many have experienced transformational change in their lives. Tūtū and Me Traveling Preschools have enriched early education for the needy in Hawai`i, nationally, and internationally. PIDF’s work with the homeless through innovative preschools and family education programs for adults have allowed many homeless families to break the cycle of poverty. Many other programs of the Foundation have innovatively engaged the issues of mentoring, foster parenting, STEM curriculum development and teacher education, Hawaiian language and cultural issues, and practical paths to land use and natural resource stewardship.

We recognize that all we have achieved
“Each of us understands that the over the past 20 years has been through story is never about us, but rather the hard work, passion, and aloha of all of our colleagues and partners. Each of us about the children and families understands that the story is never about us, we are privileged to serve!” but rather about the children and families we are privileged to serve! The many, and often, unexpected opportunities we have been given to serve have been doors to discovering how resilient and talented our colleagues and our clients are in facing the challenges of life. Most of us are often outside our comfort zones but we are rewarded and blessed to see how awesome the power of aloha is in our lives and the lives of those we serve.
On behalf of our dedicated Board of Directors and fellow staff, I want to thank our friends and supporters for helping us to stay faithful to our path of service. Aloha, Lōkahi, Mālama, Pono, and Po‘okela are our core values and have been the language of our organizational culture over the years. I trust this 20th anniversary annual report will allow you a glimpse of this culture of service that sits at the heart of PIDF.
Me ke aloha piha a me ka mahalo nui,

Aloha (love; respect): Love for self, family, and others is a lifelong commitment. Aloha is conveyed with purpose: it is a sincerity that comes from deep within.

“Perhaps the most important financial ratio for non-profit organizations is the ratio of program service expenses to total expenses, which indicates an organization’s efficiency in using its resources for the benefit of those it serves. The accepted minimum program service ratio is 65% to 75%. For 2016, Partners in Development Foundation again achieved a remarkable program service percentage of 93%. That means 93% of the Foundation’s efforts went to serving people and only 7% went to overhead.” -Carl Williams C.W. & Associates Inc., Independent Auditors of PIDF

Tūtū and Me: Nicole Kamai High quality early childhood education is critical for a child’s development and long-term success. 85% of brain development occurs by age five during the early elementary years when children are gaining fundamental social and academic skills. This high quality early education provides a structured environment where they learn to follow rules, increase socialization skills, and increase literacy so that they are ready for kindergarten and beyond.
“
Tūtū and Me totally works! ...they always ask, ‘what do you do with your kids, how do you prepare them?’ It’s getting them out into the community and having them socialize and learn new things.
”
Nicole Kamai started attending Tūtū and Me nine years ago with her first son. She is a stay at home mom of five children and continues to attend the program. Nicole believes it’s a real family atmosphere and considers the teachers and other families her extended ‘ohana.
Tūtū and Me aims to meet the developmental needs of young children and to support the grandparents, parents, and other primary caregivers who are unable to afford or access quality preschool education. We, at Partners In Development Foundation, believe that the caregivers are the keiki’s first teachers. We want to provide keiki with the tools that will lead them to success through building a strong foundation in their younger years. 7

I’m still learning from Tūtū and Me. When doing our ASQ (Ages and Stages Questionnaire) and other evaluations we get to learn where our children should be, what they should be doing, what to expect, and what milestones they should be hitting. I think that reminder every month of what my keiki should be doing is really good.

Hui Ho‘omalu: Ahn ‘Ohana
“
Initially I was concerned because we wanted to share our blessings, and I really wanted to help children in need, and families in need. But I was a little apprehensive because I always asked myself, ‘I want to help other children but am I ready to help other children at the cost of my children?’
” Our foster care program, Hui Ho‘omalu, has had as its goal the reunification of families. While social workers strive to get families back to a place of health and security, their keiki need a home with a loving family that supports them until that day comes. The Ahn’s are just one of the many families that have chosen to make a difference in our communities. Robyn is the Principal at Kaimuki Christian School and Eun is an Economics professor at University of Hawai‘i. They have four children of their own and a desire to help children and families in need. Upon searching for ways to share their blessings, they came across Hui Ho‘omalu and thought that fostering was a great option. The Ahn’s have been fostering for nine months. They were commited to fostering with the idea that it was about reuniting the children with their parents.

So our first placement, we didn’t know what to expect. He was a loving child who wanted to be loved and the first question he came to us was, ‘how long am I staying with you?’ I looked at my husband and he said, ‘however long you want to stay here.’ I just didn’t expect that question and then I thought about it later; I knew what he was thinking. Basically, what are you to me in a sense of, ‘am I just here for two days or two weeks?’ So I think after my husband reassured him, you’re welcome to stay here as long as you need to. He just felt so much better and I could just see it in him that he felt reassured that it was going to be okay.

Natural Farming At Partners in Development Foundation, we see land stewardship as a key component to community health. Stewarding the land is an extension of our commitment to the next generation of the communities we work with today. We extend our care for the ‘āina and the communities we serve through implementing and promoting the practice of natural farming. As an island community we import 80-90% of our food. This is a striking percentage and highlights the level of food insecurity we collectively face. As we push for food security as a community, we also seek to ensure the quality of the food we eat today and into the future. Therefore we’re committed to agricultural models that sustain our communities and the land, while providing healthy and abundant food.

Our Hawaiian ancestors used natural farming practices to support several hundred thousand people using only the island’s resources while cultivating and preserving this invaluable resource for future generations. Implementing the natural farming method has the potential to transform and liberate modern food production in Hawai‘i through leveraging local resources, and increasing ecosystem health with each passing season. We’re forging a path ahead for a food secure Hawai‘i, by looking back at how the Hawaiians mālama ‘āina in a pono way.

Ke Kama Pono: Pualele Ke Kama Pono, a Safehouse for adjudicated male youth ages thirteen to seventeen, serves up to twelve youth at a time for a period of no less than six months. One of the goals of the program is to support the development and integration of critical life skills necessary for long-term success. They are tasked with projects using the Hawaiian culture as a framework, to build and foster the core values that Partners in Development Foundation instills in their clients and staff. Dr. Michael Kahue, Program Director for Ke Kama Pono, saw an immediate shift in the attitudes of the boys when they found out they would have an opportunity to work on an outrigger canoe. “The norm is usually they hear about a project and are so gung-ho about it. ‘Oh yeah, let’s do it!’ Then after a month or two goes by, they lose that spark and there’s the drop off. With this one (the canoe, wa‘a project) for some reason, I noticed there was no drop off. The boys were definitely inspired to be around this massive canoe.” Ke Kama Pono was tasked with the restoration of the wa‘a, Pualele. Every Tuesday, they would meet with Mr. Jay Dowsett, a master wa‘a builder, to learn from him and work on the canoe. They began the tiring task of sanding and applying fiberglass, followed by more sanding. The boys weren’t thrilled about this process at first, but as they saw the pieces come together, they began to take extra care in their work. The boys worked on every aspect of the wa‘a, including the colors as well as each boy putting his own design that represents himself and his story. Although the completion of this project would extend past their residency term, the Ke Kama Pono program offered them a chance to see it through to the end. “Our thing for the boys is they can always come back, even though they complete the program and get discharged. They are always welcomed back when this canoe is ready and seaworthy. And they felt like, ‘Okay, I am willing to go the extra mile for this.’”

Po‘okela (greatest; to excel): The pursuit of excellence is reflected in the high standards of quality that our programs exhibit.
Upcoming and Future Projects Pono Policy Academy Public trust in elected officials continues to be abysmal across the board, from Democrats to Republicans on both the state and federal level. With only 34.8 percent of the state’s eligible voters casting their vote in the 2016 primary election, Hawai‘i ranked last in the nation for voter turnout—setting a new record low. In an effort to restore the public’s interest and faith in its political leaders, Pono Policy Academy (PPA) is a nonpartisan educational effort aimed at informing and training the public about the legislative process. This includes training qualified potential candidates for elected office who will practice “pono politics”.

Baibala Hemolele To encourage and perpetuate the continued use of the Hawaiian language in the community, and to complete the work begun by the original translators and their Hawaiian contemporaries, the Hawaiian Bible Project has again partnered with Kamehameha Schools and the Atherton Family Foundation to produce a full bilingual Hawaiian-English Bible. We strive to have this Baibala completed and printed in 2018. Contact us for information on ways to support Baibala Hemolele!

The Order of Ke Aliʻi Pauahi Award
of
Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop was a woman of intelligence, compassion, and a remarkable visionary. Reverend J. A. Cruzan once said, “Refusing the crown she lived that which she was; crowned.” Refusing to rule her people, she did what was better, she served them, and in no ways so grander as by her example. It was the princess’ belief that a vibrant future for her people was tied directly to the education and well being its children. Since 1956, The Order of Ke Ali‘i Pauahi has been awarded to those who best exemplify that vision.
The Pauahi Foundation and Kamehameha Schools recognized PIDF President and co-founderJan Edward Hanohano Dill as the 2016 Order of Ke Ali‘i Pauahi Award recipient at a gala held at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel on October 12, 2016. Jan was selected for his years of dedicated service to helping communities locally, as well as abroad. Pauahi Foundation generously donated $35,000 each to PIDF and three other nonprofits supporting Hawaiian children and families in our communities. “To describe Jan in terms of the mission of Kamehameha Schools. I can think of words like good and industrious. I can think of words like servant leader. I can think of words like character and competancy. These are our descripters that really, kind of, define what we try to instill in our Haumana.” -Dr. Michael Chun, former President of Kamehameha Schools “It’s really only in the last 20 to 30 years I’ve started to really appreciate the awesome power of the legacy of Bernice Pauahi Bishop as I came to faith in Guatamala, when I was a Fulbright Fellow working with the Indians and seeing this grinding poverty. You know the princess really had something here because we share the same faith. And so we understand our call to care for the least of these.” -Jan Dill, President of PIDF “Even though we have 30 preschools and a tremendous amount of other investments in early education, it still isn’t enough to reach all native Hawaiian kids. Partnership we know is critically important to our strategic plan. It sounds simple but it’s actually incredibily hard and what’s particularly unique about PIDF as a partner to us is really their leader and their staff that have the right values, aligned vision, and a very, very deep care for our keiki. That kind of relationship is extemely difficult to find but once you find it it can be quite magical and you want to do everything you can to keep it alive and to continue on forever.” -Lauren Nahme, Kamehameha Schools VP of Strategy and Innovation
