Hui Makaala |
About |
"Akisamiyo. Warabata ya nun naransa" (Goodness! Children are good for nothing). Okinawan nisei may have occasionally heard the issei express such an opinion. But the founders of Hui Makaala felt that they, the young Japanese-Americans of Okinawan descent, were not nun naran, or good for nothing. They felt capable of playing a significant role in promoting the general welfare of the Okinawan community. So in January 1946 Hui Makaala was formed. Hui Makaala implies an organization ever alert to serve, work, and strive together. The basic goals of the group have been: 1) to foster a better understanding and acceptance of the American way of life, 2) to provide social, recreational and educational activities for members and friends, 3) to assist deserving students in their pursuit of higher education. |
