April 27th we held a service project helping out/cleaning a preschool in Hilo called Kaumana Baptist Keikiland. We helped with inventory, cleaned windows and fans, cleared moss off a tunnel to prepare it for painting, weeded the gardens and played with the kids. It was a fun way of getting our students involved in giving back to the community, and gave us a lot of time to hang out with the students. For Hillary, one of our friends, it was the first to come to a Cru event.
one of my favorite moments of the day was when i heard some of the preschoolers saying "Auntie! Auntie!" i finally figured out they were talking to me! in Hawaii, anyone older than you is "auntie" or "uncle" but it was the first time i had been called "auntie" - i don't know why, but i loved it.
here are some pictures from the service project:
