The definition of a volunteer is “a person of his own free will offer himself for service or duty.”
The Pearl Harbor Kiwanis is a small club and we try to help out where possible all year long. Our current project is making hospital dolls for pediatric units so the children and families can understand the procedures the child needs to go through. Myra Lau, mother of our member Kathryn, has sewn 100s of dolls for our club and Roy Fujinaka, one of our members has stuffed 100s of dolls while watching football.
Key Club is our service leadership programs and we try to help them become more aware of their community. We have five (5) high schools that we help sponsor; Aiea High School, Leilehua High School, Mililani High School, Pearl City High School and Waipahu High School. This year I’d like us to help our Key Clubbers to make volunteerism a priority. It doesn’t take a lot of time to make volunteerism a priority and we all get to learn as we volunteer.
Find out more about us and please come visit us at our general meeting held on the first Tuesday of the month at the Aiea Public Library Conference Room at 7:00pm.
