Kewalo Beach Clean Up

With the success of our first beach clean up safely under our belt we have got our second in the books. I was contacted by surf corp. " Girls who Surf", last month and asked if CGCH would be interested in organizing a beach clean up during their Wahine Surf Contest. We are very excited to be involved and honored that so soon people are turning to us when looking for partnership. Now if we could only find a fiscal sponsor maybe i could sleep at night but alass thats another story all together.

Beach Clean-Up will be held at 10:00 am and will go until 1:00pm at Ala Moana Park. Meeting in the park by large parking lot next to the harbor. look for Green baloons. Without the help fromour community none of what we attemp could ever be accomplished. We depend on you

Great Success

The Ka'a'awa Beach Clean-up was a great success. We raised $420.00 toward applying for our 501c3 tax exempt application. The beach sparkled as well as thre people. We realy made a positive impact on the citizens of ka'a'awa. The first community beach clean-up ever organized in Ka'a'awa. Great big thank you to the Kalaka'ala family for your support. The event wouldn't have been such a success withoutt their un-waivering assistance. Mahalo to
MAC 24-7, Hula Motion, and Ka'a'awa Elementry School. Dreams come true when your wide awake.

Beach Clean-up in Ka'a'awa

The date has been set for Clean and Green Campaign's first (of many) community beach clean-ups. Our first location is Ka'a'awa Beach Park on the North west side of Oahu. We have been working dilegently, trying to raise awareness and educate Hawaii's citizens on the problems were facing concerning polutants entering our oceans. CGCH's Chairmen of the Board, Jerad Kamaka'ala said after setting out for a day of surfing off the coast in Ka'a'awa. Once reaching the breakers found himself surrounded by tiny bits and pieces of plastic. Plastic bags and cigerette butts liter the beaches and its time to make a change. We are recieving great support from the community, even the armed forces. The volunteer coordinater for the U.S Navy contacted me interested in our cause and offering the Navy's support. I mean the NAVY!

Gandhi Once Said

Gandhi once said that happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. This fundamental philosophy rings true with directing a non-profit corporation. An organization that encompasses the way you live and feel. The bliss of being true to yourself. Clean and Green Campaign of Hawaii has become my montra. Be well, god bless, and live in the now.

Live In the Present

A non-profit is a model all business should strive for. A benefit not only on a consumer level but on all levels. Unfortunaltly thats not the way the world works, is it. In the words of Wu Tang Clan, " Money reules everything around me". Money drives the world and we're heading in the wrong direction. Thank god for those curagious few, those people that build churches, and rec-centers and give they're precious time to charity. Those people that still imagine life the way it should be, a gift. Live in the present and charish every moment.
