It takes a village to raise our children.

This phrase rings true even more so today during these tough economic times. As a young girl, I remember how I would be mindful of my behavior because somewhere either Aunty or Uncle or Cousin would see me and if I was not behaving appropriately, I would be scolded by them and then get more from parents when I got home. Our children today need everyone’s help to raise them to become responsible, caring and giving individuals. AILH is committed to having our youth give back to their communities and to meet and learn from our Seniors. We are doing this by having our Seniors volunteer to come into our Kahuku office to teach our youth a skill or trade. We hope that by fostering these relationships, we can go back to the days of having everyone in our “village” , now referred to as community, help to raise the children of today.
