Hana Days
Our Junior Leaders, Design Team, and Conference Presentation Team gathered together before, during, and after the VRT to design, plan, document, and create VRT 2022 and this website.
The Hawaiian word "Hana" is usually understood to mean "work." At a deeper level, however, "Hana" can be understood to mean the unleashing of grace. To do Hana, Pono Shim explains in the video below, isn't to work; it is to give one's gifts from the depths of one's heart in an effort to leave the world and people better than you found them.

Photo Gallery
progressing through these marvelous stones
I almost fell off while taking this picture but it's fine because my life is great!
They just seem so happy... Its actually a nice picture!
there is NO comment available or needed
actually there is... this is giving emo vibes but Leia is actually an angel so let's not be mean to her! SAM!!!
also known as Andrew Jehovah Joseph Jeremiah Jeffrey Tyrone Jamal Yos. Plot to befriend the fugitive by endearingly pushing him down ramps.
Our friend Leia is playing peek a boo with Sam! Can you see her cause I can't!
This is a very wholesome photo... it is ART
Thanksgiving 1929
This is Sam and I hugging a tree because NATURE, and why not? #savethetrees
Matching with the art departments special showcase of an ear. . . I LOVE this photo!
(Just FYI: the ear did not talk to me before hand to coordinate this match it just happened! It is a sign from the ear amirite?)
Thanks to Sam we were able to learn about her campus favorite tree (shown above). She is obsessed with this tree.
Leia was trying to recreate the photo of Sam (to the left). To be honest, I can't tell the difference. Is it Sam or Leia? NOBODY knows
This is SUNNY... Tour guide #3
we are so disconnected in our society
This was a hard photo to take because we had to look so serious... We had to reflect deeply and pinch ourselves not to burst out laughing.
In reality it was actually not hard to laugh... does that mean we are good actors or just sad people?
BALANCING
-Why is this photo significant you may ask... it's a good question BUT the truth is it isn't... so just enjoy the photo of Leia and I while acting like you know why!
This is a representation of what happens when people take UNWANTED photos of people at the wrong time! (photo credit: SAM) all luck to you EXCEPT when you does this, ugh!
This is me in front of the Museum of art getting photographed.
When we asked Leia, our smart and kind friend for advice she came up with this. Not to throw shade but what kinda caption/title is that?! is it better than Sam's? yes, but better than mine? no!
This is a representation of what goes on every time the two meet! As you can tell Stevey is having a violent moment...All I can say is that it's better than before when Stevey tried to knock me out in an elevator due to stress... she needs a stress management class ASAP
Should
we let
Sunny

Sharing of Learning:
Schools of the Future Conference
October 21, 2022
On October 21 a VRT team presented at the Schools of the Future Conference at the Hawai‘i Convention Center.
"From Strangers to Family: Stories from the Virtual Road Trip"
Cognitive Skills and Social Emotional Competencies can be taught. They can also be caught. Guided by this belief, the Virtual Road Trip & p4c Hawai‘i Outreach Group (VRT) was launched 28 months ago. Since then the Grade 1-14 students in this group have continued to meet, spent 800 hours together on Zoom and in-person, and have learned from more than 100 National Park, Museum, and University educators. They have succeeded in crafting a joyful, supportive, and empowering space that supports them in the present and also prepares them for the future. In this presentation students from this group, accompanied by Dr. Toby Yos, will explain the VRT, share highlights from their journey, and express the profound impact that VRT has had upon them.
