Aloha and Happy Holidays!

As 2016 comes to a close, we want to extend our warmest mahalo to all of you for supporting Kupu and partnering with us on programs and projects that have impacted Hawai‘i’s environment, local communities, and thousands of youth throughout the state. 

We have a big year ahead with our 10th year anniversary in 2017. We look forward to celebrating our collective efforts and developing fresh ideas and new partnership opportunities to inspire and empower the next generation of Hawai‘i’s environmental stewards. Stay tuned for exciting ways you can get involved next year!

Mahalo for your continued support and friendship. Our ʻohana at Kupu wishes you and your ʻohana a warm and wonderful Christmas season! As this season is reflective of service, sacrifice, care for others, and unconditional love, may we take these qualities together into 2017 as we learn, serve, and restore together to make our island home a better place.
 
Mele Kalikimaka a Hauʻoli Makahiki Hou!

What made this trip more unique was a partnership with KEEN Footwear, and their donation of boots, allowing the team to minimize their impact in one of Hawaiʻi's most pristine and intact native rainforests.
