ASAS Hawaii’s Life Service Action initiative provides students with opportunities to see firsthand how giving back is more than an act of kindness—it’s a way to build stronger, more connected communities. This year, our students took part in the Kupuna Project: they designed festive, hand-made Christmas cards with personal messages of warmth and gratitude, then visited senior homes to deliver them in person. In addition to sharing cards, students performed dances and played games with kupuna (Hawaiian elders).
These moments of connection helped our students experience how small gestures can brighten someone’s day. More importantly, students are learning to think beyond themselves, developing a lifelong commitment to service. By working together with purpose, our All-Stars are growing into compassionate, community-minded leaders who will carry forward the spirit of giving for generations to come.
