Paddle for Pae Aina
The Paliuli Project is a movement that encompasses the values of environmental balance (sustainability) and aloha ʻāina (love for the land and sea). The intent of the Paliuli Project is to reestablish and continue a connection between communities and the ʻāina through community-based events throughout Hawaiʻi.
On July 11, 2015 the Paliuli Project will host the Paddle for Pae ʻĀina and the ʻĀina to Fork Throw-Down at Kualoa Regional Park. The paddle race will include stand up, paddleboard and OC1 paddlers racing around Mokoliʻi island. The Hawaiian style cook-off will test chefs to see who can prepare the best dish using traditonal Hawaiian ingredients and an imu (Hawaiian underground oven).
Proceeds from the event will go to two beneficiaries. These organizations exemplify the values of the Paliuli Project:
1. Hui Aloha ʻĀina Momona - Koʻolaupoko, Oʻahu (http://www.ainamomona.org/)
2. E Ala Voyaging Academy - Waianae, Oʻahu (http://www.ealavoyaging.com/)
