MAULI OLA KAI OLA SUMMER PROGRAM

This is a video project I volunteered to film this past summer for a non-profit organization, known as Mauli Ola Ke'ehi. I was able to help secure funding and spread awareness about their program to different schools across Hawai'i. This program educates students about marine conservation and Hawaiian healing through various activities like art, paddling, reef walks, and learning about mo'olelos.
