Park Clean-up Day

On November 21st, 2009, Dani and Debbie Oliveira led some members of Hale O Nā Kāula Church in volunteering for the Community Work Day program in Maui. We chose to take care of Pukalani Park , which is close to our church. We removed graffiti, cleaned bathrooms, picked up trash, mowed some of the grass and fixed the basketball hoops. It was a fun day!

It’s in our hearts to bless our community, especially the children from Pukalani Elementary who use the park for PE and recess. We look forward to more opportunities like these because we love to spread Aloha! God bless Maui!
