Hawaiian Word of the Day
Aloha, ʻo wau ʻo U’ilani a eia Ka Wai Wai Hawaiʻi o Ka Pule or the Hawaiian value of the week.
This weekʻs Waiwai Hawaiʻi is (Malama) which means (to take care of, protect, or preserve).
Aloha, ʻo wau ʻo Kanaluame ka haʻawina ʻaʻa no ka pule or challenge for the week. I challenge you to practice this value by (helping your teacher with chairs if it’s out of place or picking up rubbish around the school).
aloha, ʻo wau ʻo Keola and I leave you with this ʻōlelo Noʻeau to keep in mind while you challenge yourself to practice this weekʻs Hawaiian value. (ʻAʻohe mālama, pau i ka ʻiole. Which means No one who takes care of his possessions has ever found them eaten by rats.) Have a great week and donʻt forget to practice (Malama).
I lā maikaʻi!
