International Service Narrative for Rotary Club of Kapolei SunsetNew: Books 4 Samoa Project

In the summer of 2017 RCKS implemented a new project: Books 4 American Samoa and delivered over 30,000 school and library books to American Samoa. This new project was an outgrowth of the “Books 4 Kids” program.

Our partner in the Books 4 American Samoa project this year was the 1st Lady of American Samoa, Mrs. Cynthia M. Moliga and the Rotary Club of Pago Pago. We are also in the process of implementing a Sister Club relationship with the Rotary Club of Pago Pago. Coincidentally, Mrs. Moliga was born here in Honolulu and graduated from Chaminade University. Prior to moving to American Samoa, she served as a teacher in Hawaii, New Jersey, New York and Puerto Rico. It was this love of teaching and helping children that drew her to partnering with us on this project. Improving literacy is also the First Lady’s key area of focus.

Background information on the Books 4 Kids program:

It began in 2013 with a shipment of about 800 books to a small island off the north east coast of Mindanao, in the south of the Philippines. Shortly after that, typhoon Yolanda tore through the central Philippines destroying more then 4,500 classrooms & libraries. Recognizing the enormous need, our club focused on collecting books being displaced by the roll out of Common Core here in Hawaii. We shifted gears and went from processing a few hundred books a month, to processing about 5,000 to 8,000 a month. Without this project, those same books would have gone to landfill or power generation.

“Books 4 Kids” became a true community effort with volunteers coming from most of the west side Rotary clubs, Interacters, the military and countless friends & neighbors. And, because of the support of local businesses the project was completed for under $10,000.00.

With this new and final project, “Books 4 Kids” program has delivered over 150,000 books to many hundreds of schools and libraries in the Philippines and in American Samoa. Over the next few years those books will be used by hundreds of thousands of children, that most need the benefit of education and print materials to support literacy.

Polio Plus:

RCKS members participated in The Ride So They Can Walk, raising hundreds of dollars for Polio Plus.

RCKS has taken the lead on the District 5000 Conference Walk to End Polio and has secured Four Seasons sponsorship for the event, including breakfast, a baseball cap and a drawing for a Naupaka Spa gift certificate.

RCKS members will also register on site, supervise the walk way and serve as breakfast hosts.

In addition, RCKS members have already registered for the walk, which will raise hundreds of dollars for Polio Plus.

International Service Narrative for the Rotary Club of Upcountry Maui

Our Club Member Lyman Morikawa joined the Rotary Club of Lahaina twice as they went to the

Philippines providing water systems and other projects. They were greeted by local Rotarians,

taken around to the communities and helping schools and other groups. They took school

supplies with them in August and clothing in January. My favorite story is when they were at a

school in the Philippines and the principal was proud of the school but showed them the steep

drop-off and how concerned she was about the student’s safety. One of Maui Rotarians asked

what it would cost to build a fence, she said $80 – he pulled $80 out of his wallet and handed it

to her. Another Maui Rotarian handed her a $50 bill and told her to build a better fence. Another

member of the group handed her $40 and told her to put in a gate. She was crying tears of joy

and appreciation – I think our Rotarians were too. There is always the question – as we travel

and change the lives of others, our lives are changed even more so.

Carly Heims spearheaded our Ride So They Can Walk Polio Fundraiser. She collected pledges

as she rode 100 miles the week of November 11 – 18. She was able to collect donations of $2005

through RCUM Club member’s donation, as well as donations from friends, family and co-

workers. She brought a stationary bike to the Makawao 3rd Friday celebration – bringing the

issue to many people attending the Makawao Town Party as she rode a few of her 100 miles.
