We Are Family – Song by Leon and Malia

Mahalo Leon and Malia for the years of helping the families in Hawaii.  In your song “We Are Family” the words Ohana, Lokahi, and Aloha truly represent the Aloha Spirit.  Thank you for being part of “Starts at Home” and we look forward to working with the community to encourage parents, love the children, and strengthen the family.

Today while visiting the public library on Wainuenue Avenue in Hilo, I enjoyed going through  the vast educational materials for parents that included books, video, and cds. The best part is it’s free to parents. Your CD Keiki Calabash was available for borrowing.
