Something in you is a bit happier and it's just amazing!" And that opened my <br />eyes to something greater, and bigger than myself, and it clicked "You have to <br />make sure that this wonderful place stays around, for the future, they will absolutely <br />be blown away by it.", I thought to myself. To you this may just seem like <br />nothing, "It's just a piece of land.", but it's more than that, we take care of our <br />native species, endangered and rare, and it's like nothing else. It feels amazing <br />to be able to call myself, a part of something that is greater than myself. Kawa is <br />something that is covered with invasive species, and needs help. With this fund <br />it's getting the help it needs. Much of Kawa is still undeveloped and culturally <br />rich, and could be much more. What I'm really saying here is, please don't take <br />away this magnificent opportunity, it's something you could only wish for. <br />The PONC fund, was voted for by majority of voters to fund Kawa. It has <br />been noticed by many people that this is important for our community, and I <br />believe you should too. Kawa is too good to fail. <br />This is an important topic to focus on and I'll tell you why. What 1 have <br />did at Kawa so far just this year, is collect native hawaiian seeds (`A`ali`i, Kukui, <br />and Naupaka Kahakai), planted native hawaiian plants (`A`ali`i, Ti, Niu, Milo, <br />Kou, Akulikuli, Alahe`e and Wiliwili). Some other things we did was cleared <br />invasive plants such as, the Christmas Berry plants, and Haole Koa. We <br />collected trash from along the beach, collected pohaku (stones), cleared paths, <br />and made stone wall. Kawa is a very special place and it should be recognized . <br />Overall what we do here help with the restoration of Kawa. We are saving this <br />place and all of these amazing things. So we should not be given up on. The <br />importance of this place is far too complicated for someone to just look at and <br />judge. It's unique, and something you have to get to know in order to be able to <br />judge it. And even then, you would be too blown away by the experience that <br />you couldn't even dare speak something bad on it's name. <br />Mahalo, Mara Keli`ikuli <br />
