Kanu Hawaii has honored Jack and Kim Johnson with a “Kuleana Award!” Kuleana Awards are given to individuals who have inspired change in others and in their community through their own demonstrations of Kuleana (Kuleana being the Hawaiian value of personal responsibility and accountability).
Kanu issued the following statement about Jack and Kim today:
“As a team, Jack and Kim model stewardship, compassion, and living lightly on the earth. They live a simple lifestyle, eat from their own garden, and devote lots of quality time to their children and their North Shore community. Jack’s music has introduced people around the world to island values of environmental stewardship and aloha, and profits from his tours support local and global environmental work. Kim has worked tirelessly to build the Kokua Hawai’i Foundation into a local institution that is committed, as she is, to positive, empowering approaches that educate keiki and build a more eco-conscious community.”
