Lenx Neves <br />Student <br />Volcano School of Arts and Sciences <br />Volcano, Hawai'i <br />February 7, 2019 <br />Charter Commission <br />Hilo Hawaii 96720 <br />Aloha Commissioners, <br />Aloha, my name is Lenx Neves, I live in Royal Hawaiian Estates in Volcano <br />Hawaii. I'm a 6th grader at the Volcano School of Arts and Sciences. I feel <br />lucky to go to Kawa once a month to save native and take away invasive <br />plants. My favorite job to do is water all the plants and put new plants in new <br />and clean dirt. <br />The place called Kawa is very important to me because I call that home, <br />that is a place that I spend time with my best friends, I learn how to take care <br />of plants, I learned to work and not give up, I learn to take care of my 'aina. <br />This is important for everyone,o see us work and hopefully they will help us <br />take care of Kawa. <br />In 2006, 2010, 2012 voters voted for this program. We should keep on <br />with the fund because all the other islands are expensive with hotels and <br />expensive homes. <br />Kawa is important to me because Hawaiians lived at Kawa. If we don't <br />take care of the land, all the wiliwili, kukui, niu, naupaka and kou are going to <br />shrivel and die. They will also die because the plants will suffocate within <br />invasive plants. I don't want the island of Hawaii to suffocate. <br />Sincerely, <br />-Lenx Neves <br />Comm. No. 21.127 <br />
