Soo Hawaii Preparatory Academy <br />Hawaii Preparatory Academy <br />65-1274 Hawaihae Road <br />Kamuela, Hawai'i 96743 <br />Ph. #808-881-4060 <br />e-mail: hsoo@hpa.edu <br />To Whom It May Concern, <br />It is my great honor to write on behalf of an exceptional organization <br />altruistically created for the benefit of our precious animals anal people of the dig <br />Island of Hawaii. It was one year ago when Mary Walker approached me about <br />the P.O.I. D.O.G. Kai .Project and the possibility of of ferirag a condensed version <br />as an elective at the middle School level here at Hawaii Preparatory Academy <br />(H'PA). Unfortunately, we have been unable to incorporate this well thought out, <br />well designed class as of yet. However, we look forward to a time when that <br />offering might become a reality. <br />Until then, the people and animals directly affected by their participation with <br />this organization are seemingly in for a remarkable experience. The benefits of <br />animal -assisted activities and therapy are increasingly understood and valued <br />by communities across the nation. It is clear, through all of the available <br />literature, that this program has an enormous adaptability factor that increases <br />its outreach possibilities. Facets of the comprehensive program have been re- <br />designed to reach and touch the lives of its recipients at a variety of <br />developmentally appropriate levels and in a variety of truly beneficial <br />circumstances. It is remarkable how its founders have successfully researched <br />populations and worked to find a "fit" wherever the need has arisen. <br />In closing, I commend all of the founders and staff members, past, present, and <br />ficture, associated with this fine program and hope that the students of IIPA will <br />one day benefit from their association with it. Until gait tiara, knowing that <br />others in the community will be able to is sufficient enough. <br />Sincerely, <br />Hope L.
