Senator Brian Schatz toured MHC on the morning of 11/4/2017. He asked lots of questions, found the experience “grounding,” and offered to help in any way. In the photo is Keʻala Wong sharing her knowledge with the Senator.
Billy Fields popped in on 11/1/2017 with Mahi La Pierre to check on Kūkaōʻō and the “menehune” wall. He’s kindly agreed to repair a portion of the wall that is bulging out.
