Live Aloha in Your Neighborhood Training Workshop
By Kasha Ho | Comments: 0The last week of this month, April, 2011 is the kick-off for the "Live Aloha in Your Neighborhood" Challenge - a campaign idea that originated with Kanu Campaign Committee members Brent Kakesako, Annie Koh, and Cherilyn Inouye. Live Aloha in Your Neighborhood is an opportunity to connect, or reconnect with the people who live around us, in the spirit of aloha, to build neighborhoods that are more compassionate, self-reliant, and sustainable. On April 10, 2011 we hosted an orientation workshop to present the Campaign Challenge. In attendance were about 20 Kanu members interested in reaching out to get to know their neighbors, and through these relationships starting to build communities that are better prepared, self-reliant, and sustainable. We recorded the session so you can learn along with us. Check out the videos below.
