Spring is here! That means.. fun Spring activities for our mentors & mentees to bond outside of school!
7 schools in the Honolulu district came together for our Spring Activity/Keiki Day event at UH's East-West Center:
Farrington High School, Kalihi Waena Elementary School, Kaimuki High School, Ali'iolani Elementary School, Kalani High School, Wilson Elementary School & Lincoln Elementary School.
The theme was "Bringing Worlds Together" & promoting a sense of belonging!
Jessica Lau, one of our former mentors who is now a UH Mānoa grad student helped coordinate this amazing event! There were 4 rotations & consisted of:
1. Mindful connections
2. Storytelling & Cross-cultural dialogue
3. Culture & Belongingness in Hawai'i
4. Explore the East-West Center
Our mentees & mentors had a fun-filled day together.
They reflected on what groups they belong to (Ex. Church family, friends, Mālama Mentors, Fil-AM club), toured different cultural sites (Japanese garden, Korean studies building, Kabuki art gallery), were able to make new friends/connections from other schools & more!
