Hey everone! For this weeks blog, the topic is giving back to the community. Here on our small island of Kauai, everyone pretty much knows everyone. In the media class it requires a lot of work and support to keep doing what we're doing, and the community is always helping us out.
I think it's an absolute great idea to give back to the community of Kauai evaluate they do so much for us. Yes, we are all busy, busy, busy with our projects, radios, etc. but anyone can find time to give back to those who have helped us. If we all work together as a team on Kauai we could all make this an even happier and friendlier place to live.
There is so much we could do on Kauai to give back. Some ideas are the whole class could donate recyclables and we could raise money through that and give it to the schools. This would be something great to do because it is easy, we could provide kids with more efficient schooling and keep our island litter free while doing it! Another idea we could do is participate in things other groups/classes might be hosting. For example like the Run for Pa'a. Or the Color for Cancer run!
Like I said before, our class is very, very busy with so many things but we can always find time to help out our community. Perhaps we could do some of these things once a quater so that way we are doing it often, but not so often our schedules get out of control.
Giving back to our community is such a nice thing to do so I hope we can actually start doing these things on a regular bases! Aloha!
