Continued Learning & Time for a Dance Party at Momi’s
Since the last blog the group has been continuing to help Momi on her land and explore Hilo. We were able to meet Topher who is a past Global Routes OE who was able to teach us many new things about Hawai’i.

Camping in Miloli’i
Since Josie’s and Anthony’s blog we have left Momi’s farm and are now camping in Miloli’i. This is the last fishing village on the Big Island and we are lucky enough to have been invited here by Ka’imi.

Hawai’i Adventures at Momi’s!
Momi is a very passionate activist who explains her love for the Hawaiian culture. She also takes a passion in teaching drivers Ed so that students can be educated and safe, live and respect the land she inhabits, as well as teach people about the different traditions (dance, language, and chants).

Leaders-in-Action: Transitioning to Homestay Life
After hiking home from the RAC (Rainforest Adventure Center), we spent a night at the Mirador, our same hotel from earlier in the trip. We did some final preparations for the home stay and learned who our groups were before going to bed.
