Lokahi

Lokahi means to come together in peace and harmony, and the Lokahi project is arranged and run by the UH religious council. We set up huge refrigerator boxes in all the dorms, collecting food, clothing, school supplies,toiletries and other items that students throw out when packing up their rooms for the summer. Everyday we bag up all the contents from each dorm, and haul the bags to a central location where the United Cerebral Palsy truck picks everything up each morning. This is a grunt work kind of ministry. A lot of hours are spent bagging up things in 85+ degree weather in dorms with no air condition. But it is a fantastic ministry that collects stuff which would otherwise find their way to trash cans. And at the end of the day we treat ourselves to watermelon or shaved ice.
