At the end of the day, Hālau members danced for the children as a form of sharing what they love with their new friends. Hālau ‘O Kaululauaʻe is a hula school committed to maintain the knowledge and discipline of hula that has been carefully passed down from one hula generation to the next.
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.

Hawaiian Crafts and Hula Shared with Aloha
Students from Hālau ‘O Kaululauaʻe, led by kumu hula Mikiʻala Kanekoa, who is also a teacher at Kapolei High, spent a few hours teaching children from the community about making traditional kapa designs using modern methods. Children decorated t-shirts using bright colors and vivid designs.
Some children also learned how to make bags out of six-pack plastic bag rings to reinforce the concept of re-using and re-cycling.
