HO'OLAULEA HELD IN LAWNDALE, CA

The Ho'olaulea is always a favorite festival, due to its great organization and large representation of community based organizations. This was especially special, being my birthday on July 19, 2008. Our first stop is always to see Auntie Jane Pang, and to take our blood pressure at the health booth. I lined up the whole family for this annual tradition. It was good to see NPIEN friend Vaka Faletau, DCFS Social Worker at the I-Vote booth. Ukulele extraordinaire Uncle Henry Kamae and wife Liz were present, as well as Rita Scanlan of Pasifik Book. The highlight of the day was, of course, manapua, poke, and plate lunch.
