Kawaiahao Church Wants Net-Maker

There's an old saying, "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for life." With this thought in mind, Kawaiaha'o Church is looking for an experienced individual to teach classes in fishnet making through its community outreach proqram, "Ho'olauna." This program offers classes in traditional Hawaiian crafts, and now involves about 80 individuals, who are learning such arts as Hawaiian quilting, feather lei making, and lauhala weaving eaeh Thursday in Likeke Hall. Experienced fishnet makers who are interested in teaching this traditional Hawaiian art may contact Mealii Kalama or Kahili Wann at the church, 538-9808 or 5221334.
