We are Papa 2030, a group of dedicated and enthusiastic students from Ke Kula Kaiapuni o Lahaina, united by our shared educational journey and cultural exploration. Our goal is to embark on an enriching trip to Aotearoa with our Kumu and navigator, Kalā Baybayan Tanaka. We will immerse ourselves in the rich Maori culture and heritage, fostering connections and understanding with the Waka/Te Reo Community.

Many of us lost everything in the Lahaina wildfire and have yet to find permanent housing. We have started this online shop to raise funds to help support our ʻohana and make this dream of a huakaʻi a reality. Each purchase will directly support our fundraising efforts, helping us gain invaluable experiences, broaden our horizons and strengthen our cultural ties. Your support not only invests in our educational growth but also in the celebration and exchange of diverse cultural traditions.
