Purpose statement

This blog will provide a record of my activities while participating in the Pacific Century Fellows program; starting up Kuleana Micro-Lending; assisting Rep. Jessica Wooley, Common Cause Hawai'i and Voter Owned Hawai'i in their legislative initiatives; and working with the Clarence T.C. Ching PUEO (Partnerships in Unlimited Educational Opportunities) program. I've also included excerpts from books and magazines I've read, along with presentations and lectures I've attended that address relevant topics and issues.


Not everyone can be famous, but everyone can be great because everyone has the capacity to serve.

Pacific Century Fellows— USNS Mercy




On Saturday, May 8th we got a chance to board and view the facilities of the USNS Mercy, the joint medical mission ship that is about to go out on a 5-month tour to the South Pacific. I can't imagine a better way to spread goodwill throughout the world than to send out doctors, nurses, and technicians to under-served areas and to provide them with medical service we take for granted. That's the way we should be fighting the war on terror.
