“With your guidance, we pray that our young people will find better ways to rejuvenate the lands, the skies and the oceans that my generation has abused by our ignorance and indifference.”
“I am so impressed by the detail and description of the Hanafuda cards. And, itʻs more than a card game. There are so many lessons to be learned when playing, like promoting environmental stewardship, honoring and learning about Hawaiian culture and values, fostering collaboration, and integrating content areas of literacy, social studies and science.”
