Molly Denny <br />Volcano School of Arts and Sciences <br />Volcano, Hawaii 96785 <br />February 5, 2019 <br />Charter Commision <br />Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br />Aloha Commissioners, <br />My name is Molly Denny, my parents are Megan and Justin and we live in <br />Wood Valley (which is the mountains of Pahala). <br />I am honored to go to Kawa twice a month with my class, and I feel that way <br />because it's beautiful, sacred and natural. Also because I learn about the sacred <br />times and native things, like the plants and what they can do, and how we can care <br />for them. <br />Kawa is important to everyone on our island, even to the ones who don't know <br />about it, because it's important to learn about the old ways of the island, what it <br />used to be and what it really is. I believe Kawa is beautiful and sacred and needs to <br />be preserved. <br />Kawa is important for the world, because Hawaiian culture is saved there and <br />we learn about it and need to keep it. It is sacred and beautiful and I feel that <br />people should experience it. All the native plants and fish. We spent lots of time on <br />it and it's very pretty. And I hope future generations get to see it, because <br />hopefully they'll get to learn about it and if they're Hawaiian learn about their <br />ancestors there. <br />Before our class went to Kawa, there was trash and plants were overgrown. <br />There was less space, and it seemed uncared for. Now there's more space, less <br />Comm. No. 21.132 <br />
