Melinda Lei Kekauoha Hanohano

Our newest Wa'a was named and blessed in a private ceremony this past week. The Wa'a was named after Melinda Lei Kekauoha Hanohano, our former Ka Lama Mohala Foundation President. Mahalo to all who gave of their time, energy, and love to make this event so special. May Melinda's spirit of Aloha continue to live on in all who paddle and are associated with this special wa'a.
