The Hawaii State Leis of Aloha project was the brainchild of Mapuana Gallery's
own Piilani. She took her idea to the Hawaii Visitors & Convention Bureau
who then contacted Kama'aina Kids to make construction paper leis with Aloha to give
to the children of a school in NY, Washington DC and Pennsylvania.
The HVCB sent 4 people from Kama'aina Kids and Piilani to personally deliver
the leis to these schools.
Asked about the project, Piilani said that,
"We put on a program showing a video of the kieki's in Hawaii making the leis
and singing a song "Aloha". We also be taught the children there a song and to
hula to the song. We left November 3 and returned to Hawaii on November 8th.
We are proud that Piilani represented our state in sharing a little Aloha.
