On April 22, 2003, 38 Na Holo I Kahiki team students, along with 4 team staff members, participated in this year's 15th Annual EARTH DAY CELEBRATION produced by Hawai`i Community College (HawCC), and held at the upper campus of the University of Hawaii Hilo Campus (UH-Hilo) and HawCC. Students were treated to a full day of hands-on activities that included a Native Garden walking tour and several Hawaiian culture activities.

Our team (among nearly 1200 students who attended the Fair with their teachers) also went to the UHH Campus Theater during the morning portion of the Fair, to hear guest speakers--they were treated to a powerful slideshow presentation by renowned Hokule'a navigator Nainoa Thompson--Executive Director of the Polynesian Voyaging Society (PVS), as he shared with them his vision and commitment in educating Hawaii's youth on the need to respect and protect their environment.

The following two collages share the adventures in learning that this group of students experienced:

• Collage 1 = Hands-on Learning Activities
• Collage 2 = UHH Campus Theater Presentations & Exhibits
