Day Two at Convention :D

Aloha this is Chyeanne ! What an awesome day of learning it was today. I learned so much so far. You should see my notes :) I went to three workshops today with my new friend Lei from the youth forum. Our first workshop was with Julie Kolson. She spoke about when the Na Ali'i went to Washington D.C. It was so interesting to see where they visited in Washington. Especially because I'm able to say I walked through some of the places where they stood back in the day. I felt somewhat connected in a way. It was mind boggling to know where they stayed and who they visited. My second workshop I learned about the organization Ka Ohana O Kalaupapa. We were informed about what they were doing for the people left in Kalaupapa. It was a very emotional meeting. To hear some of the stories the speakers told made me want to do something or make a change to help. They are planning on making a monument to remember the people that passed on because they shouldn't be forgotten. If you want to know more you can visit Kalaupapaohana.org. The last workshop I attended was with Bula Logan. I was able to take this workshop with Aunty Tamar too! We learned E Mau Ke 'Ea O Ka 'Aina I Ka Pono O Ke Akua the relationship to heaven and earth. It was AWESOME ! Who knew you didn't need prescription drugs to help you. It was fascinating to learn about the plants that surround us can heal us or help us when needed. Today was a great day of learning. Fasten your seat belts we have one day "for me" left :( I'm excited to see what I can learn tomorrow! STAY TUNED :)
