Actions of Aloha

Kim-Hee Wong ’14, Project Manager
www.ActionsofAloha.com

Actions of Aloha was launched in June 2020 as a social media challenge to encourage love, compassion and kindness in our community. Originally this initiative focused on COVID-19; however, based off of the generous amount of support that we received, our team decided to continue the momentum and create a deck of cards. Actions of Aloha cards are a reminder that aloha is found in our everyday lives. Through small actions we can show kindness and compassion for ourselves, our ʻohana (family), our kaiāulu (community) and our ʻāina (land). Take a card for yourself or challenge a friend to amplify aloha through a simple action.

100% of profits are donated to Waimea Valley and Bishop Museum, two treasured historical and cultural sites in Hawaiʻi.
