Ka Papa Kai
Mālama Pūpūkea-Waimea proudly hosted its fourth Ka Papa Kai session for keiki.
Nai'a was a participant in our summer Ka Papa Kai. Nai'a, Awakea, Sariyah, & Daysha received "shrimp manicures" one day as we were studying the pools. Nai'a later took her aunt Susan Scott (a marine biologist who has a column called Ocean Watch with the Star Advertiser) to the tide pools to share what she had learned at Ka Papa Kai. Susan included their experience in the July 30th's edition! Read it here....
