Kudos

Recently, we have heard the following comments from our parents and students.  Please add any comments you have!

“I am extremely grateful for the education that Hui Malama provided, for not only myself, but for my Mom. She did not know what to do with me, and Hui Malama gave her an option that she did not know existed. Hui Malama helped me get into MCC at such a young age because they believed in me and knew I was dedicated. Hui Malama made college possible and I am grateful that they saw my potential.”
-Elle Cochran, Hui Malama alumnus and West Maui County Council Representative

“I can’t tell you how what a blessing Hui Malama has been for my son.  He used to hate school, he’d beg to stay home. He had no good friends. Now he jumps out of the bed in the morning and even begged me to come to this parent night so that I could meet his teachers.  His teachers really know him and see in him what I do. I couldn’t be happier.”

“It’s heart-warming to experience how our various hands-on projects motivate Hui Malama’s students’ interest and participation, while strengthening relevance of Hui Malama’s academic curriculum to those projects.”
-Brian McCafferty, Teens on Call/Paia Training Center

“I just kept on thinking of all those times you told us to choose goals in our lives, and choose the right people in my life. I knew that if I chose to smoke, I would lose my goal and that I would be letting down a lot of people, including you guys.”
-Former HMLC High School Student

“Look! I got a job ’cause of you guys!”
