Ikuyu Madin - building from generation to generation

When the first 26 Okinawan immigrants set foot in Hawaii, they carried their Okinawan homeland within their hearts, bridging the gulf between the two island states with a sense of community that would eventually be woven into the fabric of Hawaiian society. Their pride and determination were instrumental in helping to lay the foundation of a uniquely Okinawan community in Hawaii, one of which would, nearly a half century later, give birth to the Hawaii United Okinawa Association. Their legacy lives today, stronger than ever, embodied in an organization whose very purpose mirrors that of the pioneering immigrants who began arriving in Hawaii in 1900, the perpetuation of Okinawan culture and the preservation of close ties with their ancestral land.

In the Spirit of Uchinanchu

We need to raise $2,100,000 in 2008 to complete Phase 1 In the Spirit of Uchinanchu HUOA's vision for the future is embodied in our new Ikuyu Madin campaign, the focus of which is the to meet the present and future expanding needs of our organization. In turn, this will enable the organization to further preserve our Okinawan community here in Hawaii; strengthen the ties with our Okinawan homeland; provide much needed additional parking; and be able to provide space for cultural classes, performing arts, language and children's education and international student exchange programs.

Issei, Nisei, Sansei, Yonsei and Beyond

Together, building on past strengths and achievements, we must act in unity to fulfill our dreams in honor of previous generations and in promise to those that lie ahead. According to the Okinawan proverb, shikinoo chui shiihii shiru kurasuru, we will greatly enhance our shared way of life, now and for generations to come.
