Project Leimamo
One of our most rewarding programs has been our involvement with Project Leimamo of the Bobby Benson Center. Through a series of classroom presentations followed by field trips on the shark boat we have been able to bring the ocean and sharks closer to the kids and adults that are involved in the project. Project leader Jackery Burgess-Manoha uses real life experiences to teach about Hawaiian values and respect for the land and the ocean.
In her own words:
Aloha, Kakau
To the most bravest and nicest people on the North Shore. The Shark Encounter was the most exciting, thrilling and very educational experience, I have ever encountered. Project Leimamo was designed to practice the Hawaiian values with Substance Abuse Treatment Programs, from around the island.
