% ^emiee An Extraordinary Woman An Extraordinary Gift When she died in 1884, Ke Ali'i Bernice Pauahi Bishop was the largest landowner and the wealthiest womah in the Hawaiian Kingdom, yet she had no children. Today she has thousands. | > Eaeh year Kamehameha Schools involves over 40,000 students in programs such as preschools, adult education classes, parent-infant teaching, elementary school and secondary school programs. This expanding spectrum of services and facilities is financed by an unprecedented gift of land, given by Mrs. Bishop, known today as Bishop Estate. Kamehameha Schools/Bernice Pauahi Bishop Estate is committed to protecting and actively managing its land and other assets to support its educational mission. And despite opposition from people who laek the information or the compassion to understand, the Schools/ Estate must ensure that those resources benefit the children of Hawai'i forever. Not for five years or 100 years...but forever. Mrs. Bishop had a vision: to reverse the decline of the Hawaiian people through the education of our children. To realize her vision, we must preserve her gift.
