Aloha Castle supporters!

One of the ways your Association has supported Castle High School was by facilitating the purchase of a Poi Mill for the school's Agriculture program. The Poi Mill is one of the ambitious projects the program has taken on to accomplish a bigger goal of teaching the students about entrepreneurship and food and nutrition as medicine.

The Poi Mill was purchased via a very generous grant by Alexander and Baldwin to the Alumni Association, however, it isn't just a matter of plugging it in to make poi. They need a food safe kitchen certified by the Department of Health and some additional electrical work in the kitchen to start making poi. They are asking alumni and the community for $3,500 to prepare the kitchen for certification and another $1,500 for electrical work.

Watch Jake Ferreira as he describes what they need.
