Calling all educators! Hui o Nā Kukui invites you.

2/13/2019

Hālāwai is gathering a list of teachers who work in any and all learning environments and communities. We want to know who you are so we all can share opportunities and resources. We know you have creative ideas and a natural thirst for knowledge. We can learn from each other. We want to celebrate your good work. If you are a kumu, educator, mentor, coach, counselor, professor or just have aloha for helping folks grow and learn, please send an email with any questions or ideas to John-Mario at jmsevilla@halawai.org.

Hālāwai board member Kapena offers the name of this special hui: The Kukui tree has many uses. It’s mostly known for the kukui nuts’ use as candles or torch lights. The kukui is a symbol of enlightenment.

Aloha,

My name is John-Mario Sevilla, a board member of Halawai, a volunteer, community organization that serves folks in the NY, NJ, CT area who have ties with Hawai'i and other Pacific Islands. I'm a dance educator and know there are many teachers on the mainland with roots in Hawai'i. I started this group with Halawai because I was curious what Hawaiian values and perspectives we bring to the field. I'm also interested in providing space for community, support and resources. I am thinking of putting together a quarterly newsletter based on what 'ike and questions people have to share that's connected to our practice as educators from our island experiences.

That said, do you have any ideas or questions you're currently pondering as a Hawaiian? Please feel welcome to email me at jmsevilla@halawai.org.

Yours,
John-Mario
