Aloha folks!This weekend the Kokua Foundation came to our school to host an Eat-In, where locals came and shared healthy organic food. Slow Food USA was there; it was also a push to get healthy foods into the schools. Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) an organizati
on I just joined, was helping also. They had biodegradable utensils, plates, and cups! Jack Johnson showed up with his family (I'm standing next to him in the picture). I got to interview his wife, Kim Johnson, and play 
with his kids, Moe and Leo, along with a lot of the other local kids.

We watched a film called FoodInc., and informational film about where our food really comes from. It is a very well put together film, but (as with most films of this sort) you have to be careful about exaggerations that stem from the film's bias.
I love SIFE so far! I have already been able to participate in the Kokua project, a project gathering and sending school supplies to Fiji (we sorted over 3,000 books), and we are working on helping a homeless shelter, H5, which I got to visit.
P.S. The term ends in two days, Big Island here I come!
