For the past week, the students and faculty on the Hawai'i Winterim trip have been spending their time volunteering at Kua O Ka La, a public charter school. During this time the Hawai'i Winterim group has been camping at the school, which is located at Pu'ala'a, Puna, an intact ancient fishing village.

While volunteering at  Kua O Ka La, the Hawai'i group has also been working on projects invoving forestry and agriculture as well as learning about the culture and history of Hawai'i.

Over the second half of Winterim, the Hawaii group will be travelling to places such as Waipo Valley, Kohala, Valcanoes Natural Park and Hilo, to hike up Akaka Falls.
