Living our mission through service to the community we believe in action. And every year, members of the Chaminade community live our mission by offering up their time, expertise and aloha to build stronger communities and improve the lives of others. These projects are diverse and scattered across the campus. Some take months of planning. Some are spur of the moment. But they all—every one of them—come from the heart. This year, dozens of student and faculty volunteered at free tax preparation clinics for low-income, elderly families and members of the homeless population as part of a project first launched two decades ago. Student tax aides, working alongside Volunteer Legal Services Hawai‘i employees, also helped participants with household budgeting. Also in 2018, Hogan Entrepreneurs worked with homeless people at the 13th Annual Job Preparation Workshop to help them craft resumes, offer interviewing techniques and link them up with job resources. Over the course of the day, resumes were sent to 500 employers. Students also did all they could to help in small ways.
AT CHAMINADE,
Like when members of the Chaminade Education Club raised money to put together muchneeded school supplies for teachers in Chuuk. Five baskets of supplies were hand-delivered at the annual Micronesian Teachers Conference, attended by Chaminade professors. And included in each basket was a handwritten note offering encouragement, warm words and aloha.
