HAPPY 64th BIRTHDAY KIMOKEO
KAPAHULEHUA!
On December 15th, ‘Ao‘ao O
Na Loko I‘a O Maui’s president, Kimokeo Kapahulehua, will turn 64 years young!
Kimokeo is an icon within Maui’s communities, has dedicated his life toward revitalizing
our Hawaiian culture through native plant and fishpond restorations and has made
remarkable contributions in Hawaiian canoe voyaging. Above all else, his is a prime
example of someone who lives a life of "aloha".
Celebrate his 64th birthday and give a gift of $64, $640, or any other generous
amount toward the revitalization of Ko‘ie‘ie Fishpond, a project that he has been leading
for over a decade. To make your donation, click on the "1 Rock at a Time" button on

throughout December.
Also, we will be celebrating his birthday on Saturday, December 17th as we
work to restore 64 feet of the fishpond’s wall. Birthday donations will be accepted that
day and you can work side-by-side with Kimokeo as we rebuild the fishpond’s wall
from 8 a.m. till pau. For more information, email, koieie@mauifishpond.com.
