How the schools with stories, in this show to find the geographic, boundaries of their school districts, Oh on, this episode of hiki, no can, do. We. Are here on the campus at Konawaena High School in, the town of Calca kueh on the leeward side of Hawaii Island, the, Konawaena complex, serves students, from the South Kona region grades, K, through 12, students. Travel, from Kona and as far south from, the town of ocean view to attend our school situated. In the Fertile slopes of mount Aloha our. District, is mostly rural was, small historically, rich towns nestled, in between coffee. Plantations. Also. Located, near the school is Captain, Cook monument in Kealakekua Bay, in which, Captain, Cook lost his life in 1779. The. Following, story by students, at Konawaena high school is about a high school teacher that, walked the Pacific Crest Trail to, overcome, a traumatic.
Event In her life. At. 21, Miss, Emma, Irwin challenged, herself to walk. 2,650. Miles along. The Pacific, Crest Trail by. Herself. But. Across the board the majority people do in trails like that are, kind of like scruffy, bearded men and. So been like a young, blonde woman was pretty rare I, think. It definitely made the, experience. Different for me than it would for someone, of a different gender or, have a different ain't or. Mr. win the, trail wasn't just a physical challenge it, was a journey to overcome, the emotional trauma, of being sexually, assaulted. But. I think for me I was trying to prove that, like. My body was mine again and I think like that came from the experiences, that happened before in college and. I think that I wanted to prove that like. I was in charge of what happened to my body like I was in charge of like how far I could push my body I could I was in charge of like how much it hurt and like, I was in charge of where. I was going and what I was doing because I think a lot of that control gets lost when you go on undergo, a traumatic. Experience it. Took mr. wijn 102. Days to hike from the border of Mexico to. The border of Canada, nearly. Three and a half months, to sort out her conflicting, emotions, and, so. Rather. Than having it be like, some isolated. Person, who I had no history with that. Would be terrible, but it was also this like very very. Heartbreaking. Situation. Where I lost someone very close to me in my life because they did something terrible to me and so that compounded. The trust issues and compounded. Like. The difficulty, in recovering because I was worried about him too which is weird you don't think about that you don't think about worrying about your assaulter but. That was like a huge part of my process as well as, mr. Urwin pushed her body and mind to the brink of exhaustion, she. Also completed, her journey from victim, to survivor I think in my process. In. The aftermath, of what happened to me I. Think like a big huge part of it was hiking the PCT by, myself, like clear to me and clear to those around me who are close to me in my life felt like that was kind of a major chef. Mr.. Urwin no teaches, at Konawaena high school that. Hopes her experience, can help others struggling, with abuse, it's. Like terrible that it's like this one act can like cause this huge trauma for not. Just the victim but the aggressor as well and. Unfortunately. Like the statistic, is more. Often than not when, something, like sexual assault happens, it's, not, uncommon not at someone that you know or that you believe, cares about you miss. Irwin says the road to recovery does, not require a cross-country, trail just.
Being Open, and honest, is a great first step I, mean. People like openly, declare like yes this actually happened to me and yes, it was this person's fault not mine. Can. Be really helpful, for, other people who have experienced, similar situations. Mr.. Irwin's lessons, are going beyond, the classroom by. Sharing what it is like to walk in someone else's shoes. This. Is Carmona Manzano from Konawaena high schools for hiki no and. Now. We go to Lihue I'm kawaii where students from chiefess kamakahelei middle. School bring.

He, had been attacked by another dog we assume and his, face was practically, bitten off and he. Lost one of the eyes because, it was no longer savable, but. The most important, thing to save was the hole in a skull here, because. There was a tooth. Had penetrated his, head and it, was quite. Infected. And it, needed a lot of antibiotics Rascals.

Following story by students at Waimea high school is about a local restaurant business, sharing, its homestyle, cooking, if, you're. On the island of kauai and looking, for a family restaurant full, of aloha, uncle's. Kitchen, in the small town of Hanapepe, is a place for you we. Sat down with Mannie Cabral better, known as uncle mano so, that he could share with us more. About his business. Started. Around 1986. And. I really interested in cooking by, cooking with other people there. Was a much older than I am and, my idea was to, gain as much knowledge as, I could before. This type, of cooker would fade, away over. Time uncle Nino has worked out recipes that were made from the heart to serve at his restaurant my. Menu items are basic, home-cooked. Meals that the, local people enjoy, throughout the years. And, they often, enjoy that type of cookie so we decided to cook the same way so we're not really cooking.
What, We would call the. Razor. You'll, be taught by he was going to a culinary school, so we cook totally differently the home stuff cooking not, only does he get his inspiration. From his family his greatest motivation, was, to continue, his cooking style, well. We're not we're, not like some of the other business where most of the things. That they cook are pre-measured. Pre-made we just do everything by flavor being. The uncle mano cooks from the heart he continues, to update his menu and serve the dishes he thinks are the best oh you, just depends on popularity what, people really like what. Most commonly, locals, love to eat we. Add that to our menu public. Foods are beef, stew with mac, salad and rice we. Also have a hunter's special which is four eggs four. G sausage, spam, smoothly. And, to scoop the rice uncle. Manos takes with the traditions, and how he learned to cook his menu items well, I can't say that our food in in all our kitchen, is like. Food that was prepared some. You, know at, least 30 40 years ago. Can't, no plantation style plantation. Style of cooking and. We, just kind of carry that right through, to. Now so. People are kind of looking for that what they were growing up as a young keister fantasy, camps, so, we kind of copy that and serve out the server food that way. This. Is dance rap yo from Miami high school for hiki no. Next. Students, from Lahaina Intermediate, School teaches.

You, don't have to throw your clothes just because he lost the button why, throw it away when you can fix it within a few minutes all. You will need is a sewing needle thread. Scissors. And, a button the. First step is to grab your needle and thread you, will need to cut a piece of thread about 8 inches long to fully fix your button next, is to pull the thread do the eye of the needle this.

It a needle, up through the bottom of the fabric and to one hole over the button make. Sure to pull all the way through on each stitch, then.

December. 7th. 1941. A. Date. Which will live, in. Infamy. So. Where'd the President, Franklin D Roosevelt remind, us of the devastation of war but. Now a date which will live in infamy also. Inspires a message of peace three. Students from Japan Australia, and, California carried. That message when they came together from. One week on Oahu their. Visit was sponsored by the Australian, National Maritime Museum for. A project celebrating. Peace in the Pacific.
They. Had to write a speech saying why. They thought being an investor would be important, and why they. Would make a good ambassador so what personal qualities, they possessed, the ambassadors, met for the first time when they arrived in Hawaii with, the common goal in mind they quickly bonded with each other they. Had a busy schedule that included, a visit to aliamanu middle school where, they met students of various cultures and backgrounds, they. Also were able to hear the first-hand accounts of the Pearl Harbor attack through. A presentation by mr. Jimmy Lee who, was an eyewitness to the event as a child the. Ambassador's, also had a chance to share their viewpoints, on peace. We. Need to focus on peace because, you, know anything. Other than peace ends with people getting hurt or dying and the, only thing that matters in this world is taking care of each other the. Next day they attended a youth peace symposium, where, Japanese citizens. And veterans from World War two shared, their thoughts so. Their stories, were really really. Just. Something different and something that. I can really take back to Australia, and tell. Other teachers, and friends about I really, like, to, hear. The other, perspective. From. From. Other people, like other, countries people. So it was good. They. Began the following day by participating. In commemoration, ceremonies. Of the December 7th Pearl Harbor attacks later. They returned to the Pacific Aviation Museum. Exhibits. And interactive, activities, gave the students and ambassadors, perspectives, from both sides of the war, finally. The hallmark of their entire visit, was, the signing of the peace document, on board the USS Missouri, it, took place in the exact spot where more, than 70 years ago assigning. By Japan the, United States and its allies officially. Ended the Pacific phase of World War two it, was she in life two students in Australia. My. Heart as a young global, citizen, is that a few which make those life-changing, decisions, act, with integrity and responsibility to, consider, the effects, of conflict. On the many and to, act with truth and honesty, so. That the tragedies, of the past are never repeated. On. Those in attendance. After. Seeing all of this and after going through today peace, the word peace means to me, when. People. Come together and, instead, of fighting and arguing they. Become. Friends. What's, lessons from the past and present generations. These, young ambassadors are ready to carry on the, mission of peace for generations to, come, this.
