The College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources\u2019 (CTAHR) Waim\u0101nalo Learning Center was initiated in 2012 and has welcomed thousands of community members to improve awareness of the learning center’s research activities, and to support \u2018\u0101ina-based education for our keiki and their \u2018ohana. Current research and other activities include breeding and selecting food crops for sustainable local production, apiculture (Bee Program), bioenergy crops, certified organic agriculture, aquaponics, and beginner farmer training.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On February 26, 2024, the N\u0101 Pono No N\u0101 \u2018Ohana Program visited WLC to learn about canoe and medicinal plants. Aunty Ilima Ho-Lastimosa, Community Coordinator and native to Waim\u0101nalo, shared the uses of \u2018olena, niu, ulu, kukui, mamaki, and many other canoe and la\u2019au plants with the families. The keiki used their senses to kilo (observe) the environment.\u00a0 They gathered \u2018olena (turmeric) and kukui, got to feel the prickly outer skin of a soursop, and held millipedes as they dug in the lepo (dirt). Program participant Makoa McCallister\u2019s makuahine (mother) shared, \u201cI liked finding the different color \u2018olena with my son.\u201d The families supported outdoor learning by encouraging keiki to be free, explore, and investigate. It was a great day to be outdoors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
