GOVERNOR ATTENDS KEIKI BIRTHDAY PARTY AT PAI`OLU KAIAULU TRANSITIONAL SHELTER

April 28 - Governor Lingle celebrated the birthdays of 11 children born in March and April at the first birthday party program at Pai‘olu Kaiāulu Shelter - the State's newest emergency transitional shelter in Wai‘anae. Children at the party participated in arts and crafts including making jewelry out of candy, bunny rabbit creations and making mother’s day love coupons, and musical chairs.  The shelter opened on March 1 as part of the Lingle-Aiona Administration’s efforts to work with the community and other partners to find solutions to the homeless problem in Hawai‘i. Pai‘olu Kaiāulu currently serves more than 160 people, including over 50 children, who were previously living on beaches or in parks along O‘ahu’s Leeward Coast.
