Tuesdays and Thursdays are days when many of us meet in-person. Before we start with our in-person schedule, however, we start off with a Zoom schedule for our friends at home. Today we (virtually) visited Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park in Atlanta, Georgia. We learned about the life of this great peace-builder. We also learned about Dr. King's visits to Hawai‘i. Did you know that he came to Hawai‘i and spoke at the University of Hawai‘i, Mānoa?

In-person we met with Dr. Thomas Jackson (aka "Dr. J"). Dr. J is the founder of p4c Hawai‘i. He told us about how he came to start p4c in Hawai‘i. After Dr. J left we had a good p4c discussion on this question: What do you mean by "grown-up"? After p4c we had lunch. Lunch is one of our favorite times because we have a lot of time to just talk, hang out, and get to know each other.

After lunch we made the one mile walk back into Mānoa to the FETCH Farm. We always enjoying getting outdoors and visiting with Uncle Norman. Today we did a lot of things. We learned about composting and worms; turning over a compost pile and sifting through compost. We also planted another aquaponics bed. We got to do another one because Uncle Norman said that we did a good job last week! After this we went back inside, appreciated the AC, and had a second p4c discussion. This time we talked about "What makes someone better than someone else." After p4c some of us cleaned up, some of harvested limes, and then we went home.

Well, at least most of us went home, some of us stuck around for a few hours more. We got dinner together and then we went to watch Kāhea, a youth opera adaptation of the Magic Flute put on by partners from Hawai‘i Youth Opera Chorus. It was fun watching the show and spending more time together.
