In 2,000 characters or less, describe the measurable outcomes you aim to achieve with these funds. The success of this Black Sands Beach Community Garden's Keiki Resilience Project can be tracked by the number of events held at the Community Keiki Garden, which are generally hosted monthly with a separate theme each month. The keiki have assisted in starting Ohia seedlings, which are much needed by reforestation efforts due to ROD. The keiki have also painted rocks to decorate the Pahoa Roundabout. The number of attendees at these monthly garden events is also tracked. The Keiki Resilience Project, which provides support for keiki during public school breaks, can be evaluated based on the number and ages of participating students, as well as any special speakers or field trips organized. The impact of dispersing packets of hygiene items can be evaluated based on the number of individuals requesting and receiving these products. Also, a measure of success is the number of external events hosted by the Black Sands Beach community involving their keiki, including the Activate Puna Events, Hala Festival, Pahoa Christmas Parade, and Cooperative Extension events.
