HAWAII 96813 <br /> March 8, 2008 <br /> Ms. Pele Hanoa <br /> President <br /> Ka'u Preservation <br /> P.O. Box 472 <br /> Na'alehu, Hawaz i 96772 <br /> Dear Ms. Hanoa, <br /> Thank you very much for meeting with me on Februazy 22 to provide an update <br /> on the efforts to protect the sacred lands of Ka u. I was very pleased to heaz of the <br /> progress you and your colleagues have been making. <br /> I believe that the Ka u coastline is one of Hawai'i's great treasures, due to both its <br /> natural beauty as well as its cultural significance. The coastline, as well as the Ahupua'a <br /> of Punalu'u, need to be preserved for the sake of future generations, so they too may <br /> enjoy Ka'u's natural resources and perpetuate the heritage of the land. <br /> In this regazd, I was glad to heaz of your concept of turning the azea into a "living <br /> classroom," where students of all ages may leazn about history, culture, customs, <br /> traditions, and the ecosystem. The fact that this will also provide needed jobs for local <br /> residents is yet another positive. I encourage you to continue your efforts of bringing all <br /> parties together, including government and the private sector, to help realize this worthy <br /> goal. <br /> If there is anything I can do to help, please do not hesitate to let me know. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> CALVIN K.Y.
