Makanalani Kids Newsletter – August 2024

It's been a slower month, and that's okay! We've been taking some time to focus on maintenance, cleaning, and updates around the property!
We still have plenty to share about what's been going on at Makanalani this August!

Kids House Maintenance

This month we have had some downtime between the groups staying with us over weekends. During that time, we have been able to strongly invest into deep cleaning the house post summer, and even replacing our Kids House solar panels!

We are thankful for everyone who has put in the hard work to keep this house in the best shape as possible to best serve the kids who come stay in it!

Thank you to everyone who visited our businesses this summer!

We want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who visited us at Chicken in a Barrel Coconut Marketplace, Chicken in a Barrel Waimea, and all locations of JoJo’s Shave Ice this summer! 100% of the profit from these businesses goes to supporting Makanalani Kids and ensuring that we stay open and free for all the kids groups who visit!

This summer would not have been possible without your business and recommendations! Your support makes a difference! Thank you!

Have you heard of the Hawaii Leadership Residency?

Makanalani Internship has a new name! The Hawaii Leadership Residency! Expanding upon its original vision, this program focuses on growing young adults in Mentorship, Community, Serving, and Adventure. As our fall group of interns arrive soon, we ask for prayer for safe travels and all God has in store for these young adults!

Check out our new website below to learn more!

Four Baby Donkeys in a year!

We’ve had several additions to our mini donkey ohana this past year! Just within the last 12 months we have had 4 new babies welcomed to the farm, and each one has a strong and unique personality. Visiting kids have loved getting attached to the kind November, the feisty Poncho, the timid Ivy, or the curious little Sunshine!

Watching these littles grow and develop their unique personalities is always so fun, and seeing the kids fall in love with them makes it all the better!

Sunshine (One Month)

Poncho (Five Months)

Ivy (Five Months)

November (9 Months)

August has been a month to refresh and prepare for all to come!

 

Moving on to Fall, we are excited for all the groups coming to stay with us! Our calendar is full, and the house is ready for all of the adventures.

As always, we want to thank each and every one of you for supporting us with your prayers and donations! If you feel led to give or want to find out how to get involved with Makanalani, please click the button below!
