Mākeke Kapolei is a farmers' and green market operated by three complementary partners: Mālama Learning Center, Kapolei High School, and Wai'anae Coast Comprehensive Health Center. The market is held every Thursday from 3-6:30 pm at the high school (91-5007 Kapolei Parkway, Kapolei). Thanks to generous grants and huge community support, we are able to run the market with more than 40 vendors and regularly scheduled educational and cultural activities.

More Fun with Natural Dyes
Continuing on the theme of using natural dyes, this week's Makeke Kapolei featured dyes made of native and Polynesian-introduced plants. For example. 'uki 'uki made a soft blue and 'olena made a bright yellow. We dyed t-shirts and other fabrics with these easy-to-make dyes, free of synthetic chemicals. If you want to learn how, feel free to ask us!
