A Joint Rotary Club Project
Rotarians, families, friends, students, and contractors gathered this past weekend to restore a building at Nani Mau Gardens for students to continue with their education. The Kua O Kala Charter School was destroyed by the lava flows in lower Puna. This building at Nani Mau needed very serious restorative work because of the extensive termite damage over the years, a joint club project was coordinated by the Rotary Club of Pahoa Sunset to get the job done!
