Animals and Aina

The Animal and Aina program is a fun way to introduce children to pets and how to care for them. It also shows ways we can take care of the Aina (land) on which we live.It is designed so children can feel like they are able to connect on a personal level with the pets and the places both here on the island of Hawaii and where ever their feet may take them in the future.

Included in this program is a fun activity book full of exciting activities do to in the classroom.

Making solar cookies, planting a papaya, learning about recycling and more. This booklet touches on good animal care, what to do in an emergency with your pet. It compliments the interactive program we do in the classroom. Each child gets a booklet and a sticker. These can be used by the teacher for lessons or at home with mom and dad. Most of the activities can be done alone but are designed to be done together.

This is a great tool to get kids thinking about how to change and live in Hawaii and around the world. Leave no trace and leave the world better then the way they found it.

We hope your children enjoy the program, we look forward to coming to your school soon. Together we can help all the children be proactive in the quest to take care of the world in which we live.

We are also very excited to work with G.E.M.S girls excelling in math and science. We had the amazing opportunity to work with this program in 2009 and we have been asked to attend again this year. It is such an honor to have the opportunity to participate in this program. Allowing girls to experience what it would be like to be a marine biologist or a veterinarian or countless other jobs with rewarding careers in math and science is a step in the right direction. The girls get to attend workshops designed to put them into the action and let their imaginations take flight.
