Garden Fencing

by Dillon Crum | March 12, 2025 6:26 PM

Today we began to install the boards on the perimeter of the fence! This fence will provide protection from wildlife for the tomatoes and other fruit that the Niihauan students use for the college fund production! Our team has been working alongside Uncle Danny, Uncle Sal, and Uncle Roger learning valuable skills and hearing some incredible stories! We are excited to see the finished project at the end of the week!

BEACH, FOOD, FUN

by Mikaylee Garcia | March 12, 2025 6:26 PM

Yesterday evening, we ended the day at the beach! Got tumbled by the waves, had some delicious food hosted by Uncle Peter and Sal, and hung out with some new/old friends that are part of the Choir at St. John’s! Community is so sweet here and we’re making all the memories…

In the Soil

by Mikaylee Garcia | March 12, 2025 6:43 PM

Our KCF group spent time some good time in the dirt! First, they helped finished organizing the kids room at the church and taking a trip with Pastor Rick to the recycling bins to unload cardboard. We met some guys, Hudson and Cliff, and helped them pull out some weeds and dig up the soil. Then, laid out weed barrier landscape to prevent the weeds from growing back and used the soil we dug to cover the fabric. Boys put in the work and at least today we were in the shade with no rain. Now, headed to St. John’s to help the painting crew.

Juicing!!

by Dillon Crum | March 13, 2025 11:40 PM

Tonight we had the opportunity to work with the choir kids and some of the other leaders from the church as we juiced tangerines that we harvested earlier in the day. The juice will be sold at their fundraising event each Friday night and the proceeds will go to supporting the choir kids college funds. It was such a blast to serve in this capacity and to see the process from start to finish!

Juicing!!
