Black August 2022 Family Work Day at Kōkua Learning Farm
Part of our annual observance of Black August in Honolulu brings us to connect our community with the land through lending our time and energy to ʻāina projects and learning about and supporting efforts to increase food security in Hawaiʻi and return land to kānaka Hawaiʻi.
This August, we were hosted at Kōkua Learning Farm, a project of Kōkua Hawaiʻi Foundation. Our keiki and ʻohana learned about loʻi and restoration work undertaken at the farm, helped to weed and plant, and shared some of our community knowledge about medicinal and food plants of the African diaspora that grow in Hawaiʻi and on the farm.
