Message from the Writer-Director

Mahalo Nui to my extended ʻOhana and everyone who has contributed time, talent and energy towards making my praxis event a reality. Together we are gaining momentum to place value on the natural world and strive to protect it. Each person’s contribution is creating a ripple that will spread across the local creeks and ponds eventually to the great oceans in the effort to reset the priorities, we as a species have set in this world, to give voice and protect our dearest asset, Nature. This is the second step in a long journey and everyone throughout the community has a part to play in making this a success.

I truly appreciate all of the collaborations and hard work that went into this project, the hours of dedication and volunteerism from all the different groups.

Ella Marcil
