We began cleaning up the grounds of Hakalau School in April 2015, and we continue every month on the second Sunday. Our vision is the creation of the Hakalau Learning Center.
Update, November 1, 2018:
April 8, 2018:
After more than two years of sustained advocacy and negotiations, Wailea Village Historic Preservation Community (WVHPC) has reached agreement with DOE on a 12 month use permit for full utilization and public access to Hakalau School classroom building & grounds. The effective date is May 1, 2018 and following a period of basic interior and exterior improvements focused on power, water, security, signage, parking and furnishings we envision a full range of community center uses such as public meetings, classes, cultural and educational events. Contact WVHPC President Akiko Masuda for additional information and join us in celebrating the Hakalau School Green Team volunteers for their spirited leadership in keeping this dream alive!

We are thoroughly blessed indeed by the spirit of all who participate. Some of our Hakalau neighbors and elders cannot come help work so they donate money. Some of our Thai community cannot come so they too donate money for food or send food or hire someone to work in their place. We are extremely humbled by their devotion.
Prayers continue : for everyone’s good health – mind & body, for committed united belief in the vision of our Hakalau Learning Center, and deep gratitude that we are blessed to live and work here & to grow strong together.
