4 Things I Learned from Maui's First Student-Led TEDxYouth Event
 |
What a privilege it was to be involved with "Imagining a Better Tomorrow", the first student-led TEDxYouth event for Maui students!
The event was held on April 6, 2014 at Seabury Hall's `A`ali`ikuhonua Creative Arts Center.
I learned 4 things during the planning and the event itself:
1. A TEDxYouth event on Maui works.
There were a few doubters. Could an event of this kind draw an audience on Maui? Would students come up with talks that were TEDx quality? Could kids actually plan and execute this gargantuan project on their own?
The answers to all three questions? A resounding YES!
We're in the new issue of @MauiFamily! So amazing to see our event in print! pic.twitter.com/IKqrFzqypp

The students' talks will be posted on the TEDx site shortly. I will add them here for your enjoyment.
2. Kids work hard.
Got a project that kids believe in and that excites them? Just get out of the way and let them at it.

3. Kids on Maui dream big.
I didn't know there were so many kids who do, until now.

4. An #eventofhope provides real-world opportunities for students to continue dreaming.
- Some of the students who organized the event have leads for summer jobs and internships.
- Speakers are being asked to present elsewhere.
- Members of the student film production team that trained under AKAKU are now employable.
- The non-profit make-a-difference booths attracted many interested students who will now pursue new dreams.

Two Interesting Finds at Fourth Friday in Kihei
There seems to be something for everybody at Fourth Friday in Kihei and I couldn't possibly do justice to the event. You'll just have to check it out for yourself!
This trip, cookies and flowers called out my name.
1. The Maui Cookie Lady
The Maui Cookie Lady sells the most interesting, gigantic gourmet cookies!
There is, of course, The Maui Cookie. But how about Cat Nip? Or best seller Bacon-Nator? Or AllAmerican Fried Chicken and Waffle? $4 buys an interesting cookie -- so worth it -- with bragging rights.
Unsurprisingly, the line was long, all night long. Yum!

Joey of Manutea Nui E does Hawaiian and Tahitian Costumes, so the flowers she makes must look real, she says.
And they do!
I bought two hair clips because I absolutely love wearing a flower in my hair and sometimes I can't get them fresh. Check out the array of accessories on the website.

If you can't make it to Fourth Fridays at Kihei in person, do the next best thing:
Watch it LIVE via a Live Stream by Akaku!
This video will show Fourth Friday in Kihei 6-9pm
Isn't that the coolest?
Check out Fourth Friday in Kihei -- yes, do it!

❤ The Maui Farm -- A place of hope
 |
| Spontaneous heart-making |
The Maui Farm is a place that's full of little hopeful signs.
 |
The vegetables are LARGE.
 |
| Gorgeous swiss chard |
 |
| Green onions and parsley |
The animals are CUTE.
And they're LARGE too.
Lisa gave our little school group a tour of the entire magical farm. Thanks, Lisa!
She let us sample the fruit ...
 |
| Low-hanging loquats |
... and she let us pick some herbs to take home.
 |
| Lemon grass |
Now I'm inspired to expand my little garden at home and to spread the good word about the worthwhile work The Maui Farm does to support Maui families.
