Episode: The Ocean Changed Her Life. Hui Malama O Ke Kai is Hawaiian for "the caring group of the ocean" and no one knows that better than Alohilani Maiava. When Alohilani was in grade school, the ocean waters of Waimanalo called to her and that's what led her as a fifth grader to Hui Malama O Ke Kai. Today as a staff member, she teaches Hawaii's keiki, or children, the very same principles and skills she was also taught there when young. Join us in our deeply inspiring visit with Alohilani as she explains how Hui Malama O Ke Kai changed not only her own life, but how it can change the world. June 2025.
