The West Hawaiʻi Mediation Center had the good fortune to receive a blessing from Kahu Danny Akaka and his wife Anna Akaka today. Center staff and ʻohana joined together to welcome a “new beginning” at the Center and be reminded of our purpose and our shared responsibility in helping to bring peace to our community. Mahalo to all who make it possible for us to continue our important work.
