Cun~ently, the balsa has seventeen (17) students, ages 4 to 18. Nonrtally most hats u hula charge about $50 per month. We do not charge our students, Because we live in au economically depressed area TE HA'A LET3UA prefers m secure.outside financial support tgtlter than bnrden the families. Like the old Japaaece schools, haumana come to TE HA'A LEHIJA after school to learn and keep their Hawaiian culture. They team about kindaess (aloha), maintenance of a well balanced family (`ohana), importancx of educstion (`imi na'auao) taking care of one's focus and purpose (kuleana), to endue the physical challenges and be steadfast (`onipa'a). Kumuhula I~au'ilani is also a cultural resource at Pahoa High School and Hawaii Academy of Arts & Sciences.
