The KS-sponsored scholar speaker series Huliko‘a Kaiāulu will continue on November 18 at the Community Learning Center at Nānākuli. Scholars Sanoe Marfil and Kalehua Caceres will share their experiences as educators in the Wai‘anae Coast community.
Hulikoʻa Kaiāulu – Explorations of the Kaiāulu breeze – gives Wai‘anae Coast ‘ohana the opportunity to share knowledge and celebrate members of the Wai‘anae Coast community who have gone on to higher education and different career pathways. The series invites everyone to come and learn about topics that impact the community and talk story with one another.
“The sessions are geared for anyone interested in hearing about how they choose their current path and what inspired them along the way,” shares CLCN Education Program Coordinator Christy Sato.
The speaker series was developed through a partnership between Kamehameha Schools, the UH Hawai‘inuiākea School of Hawaiian Knowledge, and MA‘O Organic Farms.
November's scholars will speak on the following research topics:

The session will be held on Tuesday, November 18, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at KS’ Community Learning Center at Nānākuli located at 89-101 Farrington Hwy.
