Jack and Friends play at the 2nd Annual KEIKI KOKUA DAY to Celebrate Students
A Classroom Garden, Rain Barrels, Banning Styrofoam Lunch Trays, Recycled Fashion and more! These projects are just a few of the creative environmental Kokua Earth Action Projects that were recognized at this year’s Keiki Kokua Day this past Friday, April 24th. Although the Kokua Festival took a hiatus this year, the 2nd annual Keiki Kokua Day continued on. Over 800 students, parents and teachers from 13 school groups across the island of Oahu spent the morning at the Polynesian Cultural Center participating in hands-on environmental activities, viewing slideshows of each other’s Kokua projects, tasting local foods and healthy snacks, and visiting interactive booths.
The event culminated with a private concert for the students by Kokua Hawai’i Foundation co- founder Jack Johnson. Johnson was joined on stage by fellow Kokua board member, Kawika Kahiapo, and musical friends Zach Gill and the Banana Slug String Band.
