OLMC HS Leadership and Mission Trip - Sustainable Organic Farm

Sustainable Organic Farm

Mission: creating peaceful communities in harmony with nature through the eyes, hands & hearts of the children.  

The buildings were actually built by 6th grade students.  Each area of the farm was built and/or made by kids. 

Father Gigi is Italian and he was thrilled to meet Carla and speak Italian with her.   He has lived in Oahu for over 30 years.

He talked to us about before working the earth we need to feel the energy of the grounds.

I wish I had the words to describe the differences I see in our teens.  They keep us laughing and talking all day.  It's 9pm and they are play tag in gardens.   It's just beautiful to see the joy and hear the laughter of 30 plus kids.  Our Hawaiian host teens and ours are making friends.  They are staying with us at Our Lady of Kea'au and travel with us during the day.  With some of these kids you would think they have been in our group from the beginning.
