Children and parents celebrate Children’s Day on May 5th in Japan.

To celebrate this fun tradition we will be sewing fun fish bags that can be used at the beach or anywhere. This will likely require two classes to finish.

Hatha Yoga
2017-04-25 16:00 - 17:00
Most forms of yoga in the West can be classified as Hatha Yoga. Hatha simply refers to the practice of physical yoga postures, meaning your Ashtanga, vinyasa, Iyengar and Power Yoga classes are all Hatha Yoga. The word “hatha” can be translated two ways: as “willful” or “forceful,” or the yoga of activity, and as “sun” (ha) and “moon” (tha), the yoga of balance. Hatha practices are designed to align and calm your body, mind, and spirit in preparation for meditation.

Make an Impact on Earth Day!
Join us in the Kamali’i Elementary School Garden. We can get a lot accomplished for the end of the year and set the garden on a solid footing for next year. This is a great way for parents and community members to get acquainted with the garden program and have a hand in making it better for all of our children.
We have a variety of projects including:
1) Assemble 3-bin compost system
This will greatly speed up the composting process and allow 5th graders to actively manage the compost system throughout the year, with many lessons to learn.
2) Assemble 15 wooden benches
We will assemble and finish 15 small benches to replace the broken picnic tables that currently provide only seating in the garden. Similar benches were built last year for Kihei Elementary and have worked great. Easy to build and an important addition to garden program.
3) Clean and Organize Storage Shed
The shed is in critical need of clearing and organizing. The shed needs to be emptied, cleaned, new shelving units assembled and materials organized on shelves. Tool bins will be installed to keep tools safe and organized.
4) Improve Nursery Irrigation System
Volunteers: 2
Install misters on irrigation line supported above nursery table to improve watering of nursery starts.
5) Weeding & straw mulching planting beds
Pull weeds from planting beds and mulch with straw to control weeds.
6) Mulching paths
Lay down cardboard and cover it with wood chip mulch in paths and open areas to control weeds and grass.
We will take a break during the day for a Learning session about rat lungworm disease, how to protect yourself, and how it's being address for the school garden program. Volunteers will also learn about composting while building the new compost system and can take a look at our very successful vermicomposting worm towers.
Grow Some Good will provide snacks, water, gloves and all tools and materials.

BAMP Project Presents: Lindsey Stirling
2017-04-22 20:00 - 2017-04-23 11:00 | The Republik, 1349 Kapiolani Blvd 3rd Fl, Honolulu, HI, 96814, United States
Lindsey Stirling remains fearless enough to always dream big. In four years since the release of her 2012 self-titled debut, the electronic music impresario, classically trained violinist, dancer, and artist quietly and humbly became one of the 21st century’s most innovative stars by clinging to her groundbreaking vision of cinematic violin-driven electronic music. After bowing at #2 on the US Billboard Top 200 and #1 on the Dance/Electronic Album Chart, holding #1 on the Classical Album Chart for 21 consecutive weeks, and receiving a Billboard Music Award for “Top Dance/Electronic Album,” receiving Platinum certification in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Gold in Poland and Silver in France, her sophomore opus Shatter Me would not only garner an RIAA Gold certification, but it would rank as the #2 Dance/Electronic Album and #1 Classical Album on Billboard’s 2015 Year-End charts. Attracting nearly 8 million subscribers and 1.3 billion-plus views on YouTube by 2016, Forbes placed Lindsey at #4 on its yearly YouTube artists list, making her the highest-ranked female. Her headline tours would play to a cumulative audience of over 500,000 people worldwide, and her literary debut The Only Pirate at the Party—co-written with her sister Brook S. Passey—became a New York Times Bestseller.
