Starbucks'
Walk for Life:
AIDS education
Maybe you saw the booth on campus last semester
but didn’t have time to stop? Did you tell yourself that
you would get involved later, but still haven’t gotten
around to it? The Life Foundation, Hawai‘i’s largest
and oldest AIDS organization, is giving you another chance
to join in the fight against AIDS by registering for the 2006
Starbucks’ AIDS Walk for Life being held at Kapiolani
Park on April 23. [More]

JSA cleans Waikiki
Beach
Special to Kalamalama by Sadaji Oi, JSA advisor
On a cloudy Sunday morning, the members of
the Japanese Student Association got together in Waikiki
for a beach cleanup. This was one of our club activities
done as community service. Although we had a lot of rain
in early March, luckily we did not have rain during our activity.
Eight club members met in the front of the Army Museum at
7:30 a.m. on March 5. A former club president, Itsuto Hamano
(Hama), passed out gloves, bags, and tongs to the members.
This was the first club event for some members, who had signed
up at Club Carnival, only a few weeks earlier.
Soon the bags were filled with pieces of glass, cans, sandals,
towels, beach mats, and a lot of cigarette butts. Toshihiro
Maeda, who had participated in an earlier cleanup, took us
to the piers near the Outrigger Waikiki Shore Hotel, where
we tried to pick up junk from among the rocks.
Although we collected little compared with the amount of
trash thrown on the beach on any given day, some visitors
noticed that we were working hard to keep the beach clean
and thanked us for doing it. We were particularly happy to
be able to get rid of some tangled lines and plastic can
holders. They can harm fish when they get into the ocean.
And by calling attention to the trash, our actions may have
prevented some visitors to the beach from throwing things
away thoughtlessly.
After 90 minutes of work, we reached our destination, Kuhio
Beach Park. Club officers thanked the members for helping,
and we all left the beach before the sun became hot. The
JSA welcomes anyone who would like to join us next time.
E-mail hpujsa@hotmail.com if you are interested in our club
activities.
