PUNA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN <br /> # PROPOSED AMENDMENTS <br /> PROLOGUE <br /> OLELO HOAKAKA <br /> What we have in common is far greater than what separates us. <br /> We need to become teachers of generosity through our compassionate deeds, actions, and <br /> example. <br /> We need to address globalization, environmental changes, widespread poverty, and rapid <br /> human population growth. <br /> Existing political and economic models need to be re- conceptualized, transformed, and <br /> balanced. <br /> A cosmic sense of purpose and belief coupled with critical and creative thinking will help us <br /> see the possibilities of the future. <br /> It's a kakou thing - we are all connected. <br /> Hawaiians have been here for [centuries]. <br /> The Po `e Kahiko, the People of Old, mastered environmentalism and sustainability. <br /> In these times, if we look back to the wisdom and ways of our ancestors, we could better move <br /> forward. <br /> `E kuleana kakou! <br /> It's everyone's responsibility! <br /> Luana Jones, Puna resident <br />
