Volunteer Vacations in Hawaii, or Voluntourism
Aloha!
We're happy to announce our new site,
Volunteer
on Vacation in Hawaii. It's packed with information about many
volunteer opportunities for you and your family while you're on
vacation in Hawaii.

All
guests of the Hale Hookipa Inn who volunteer for one of these
projects will be given a 5% discount on their stay, and an
additional 5% of their total bill will be donated to the cause
for which they volunteered! Please contact Cherie for more
details on this special offer.
Don't miss the new
Hookipa
Aikane (home sharing friend) Blog, where you can talk story,
see great pictures of Hawaii, and find out the latest on what's
going on.
The Hale Hookipa Volunteer Vacations program was
recognized by O Magazine!

2008 marked the 11th year of Hale Ho'okipa Inn. It
sure feels good to look around and see the fruits of my labor.
Now it is time to reach out a little further and continue to
give back to the wonderful aina that sustains me. I have lived
in these islands for over thirty years now, and everyday I am
grateful for the place I call home.

Being a hostess for visitors, I find myself in a position to
share a bit of Maui no ka oi, Maui the best. I would like my
guests to have a wonderful, refreshing and rewarding time while
on vacation. At breakfast, as guests ask advice for their day, I
weave in culturally sensitive issues and how to approach the
places they visit with awareness and respect.
