Life's a Beach

LIFE'S A BEACH

Two weeks ago, Waimanalo Beach got a makeover. 



Dozens of volunteers from around the island arrived at this beautiful beach on the East Coast. Their mission was very simple: collect as much trash as possible. Volunteers started arriving at 9:00am and by noon had collected a massive amount of trash, mostly plastic. People filled garbage bags and buckets with debris found along this long beach.


After everybody's hard work, a free lunch, shave ice, drinks, games, and an awesome concert was held. It was a wonderful way to spend the afternoon.


 

Some Palms students joined in the cleanup fun, too.


It was a fantastic day spent alongside people who not only appreciate the natural beauty of our island, but also care enough to help it look and be its best.

SHARE THE LOVE

SHARE THE LOVE

We met local musician Mike Love last weekend in Waimanalo. It was for a festival celebrating Earth Day, and dozens of people (including Palms students) volunteered to do Beach Cleanup for a few hours in the morning. And then the music started.


Mike Love and his band gave us an amazing performance. They mix rock and reggae to create their unique flow and sound. Their lyrics have depth and they have a positive message to share.
