E Hō Mai

By Edith Kanakaole

E hō mai (i) ka ʻike mai luna mai ē
ʻO nā mea huna noʻeau o nā mele ē
E hō mai, e hō mai, e hō mai ē (a)

Give forth knowledge from above
Every little bit of wisdom contained in song
Give forth, give forth, oh give forth

Ho’onani I Ka Makua Mau

Hoʻonani i ka Makua mau,
Ke Keiki me ka ʻUhane nō,
Ke Akua mau hoʻomaikaʻi pū,
Ko kēia ao, ko kēlā ao. ʻĀmene.

Praise God from whom all blessing flow,
Praise Him all creatures here below,
Praise Him above ye heavenly host,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

Serving Our Members and the Community

Nā Kai `Ewalu continuously serves its members and the community. We have hosted the students at Summer Pals and Kama`aina Kids. Narcotics Anonymous used our hale for daily meetings and several hula halau made our hale their home too. Nā Kai `Ewalu is the official host of Kamehameha School Maui and Baldwin High School’s MIL paddling teams.

Nā Kai `Ewalu is also part of the Adopt a Highway Campaign. We care for a two mile stretch of Hana Hwy which includes the intersection of Haleakala Hwy.

We have been involved in replanting koa and a`ali`i seedlings in Kahikinui and Ulupalakua. Our club has also done many Thanksgiving and Christmas Meals for the homeless.
