808.356.0232 Fax Dear Chair Sue Lee Loy and members of the Human Services and Social Services Committee,
asashawaii.org After-School All-Stars Hawaii are grateful to the County of Hawaii and this year's Grant in Aid,
Ad-Hoc Committee for the financial assistance and awards. This year's process,while
different,aspires to be a catalyst for positive change across many sectors and lays the
foundation for better collaboration between, public, private,and philanthropic partnerships.
This year's Ad-Hoc asked thorough,thoughtful questions about our program especially the
critical questions of other barriers our programs are challenged with and we look forward to
more collaboration to bridging these gaps.
Without this Grant-in-Aid funding we would not be able to provide the comprehensive
programs at Pahoa High and Intermediate, Keaau Middle and Waiakea Intermediate.These
programs provide our students with social-emotional support, advice and skill attainment in
relation to the transition to high-school, information and aspiration building in relation to
college and career readiness and the ability to bridge the learning loss that has been caused by
the pandemic.
We,and our over 700 students,are very thankful for this support and opportunity.
Sincerely,
Paula Fitzell
President/CEO
