It has been three years since the start of Ka MÄla o Niuhelewai (The Garden of Niuhelewai) and the kalo (taro) is ready for harvest. Every April the Honolulu CC campus celebrates the mÄla with the annual HoÊ»olauleÊ»a to enjoy the harvest, food prepared in the imu, poi pounding, and live Hawaiian music.
Ka MÄla o Niuhelewai has been an instrumental "hands-on" venue for students, faculty, staff, and the community in supporting the Hawaiian understanding of sustainable "malama Ê»Äina" application for producing food for HawaiÊ»i," shares Hawaiian Studies Instructor, Mark Alapaki Luke.
In keeping with the sustainability theme, reusable plates or containers, beverage cups or bottles, and utensils are encouraged to limit the use of paper and plastic resources and alleviate trash in the landfill as part of Honolulu's sustainability efforts to care for the land.
