MEDIA RELEASE

The Friends of the Future Annual Report, Kapaipai (to flourish), is now available online at www.FOFHawaii.org

Kapaipai summarizes more than 20 years of work on Hawaii Island which began with a series of conversations celebrating pluralism, duality, and cultural diversity.

A nonprofit organization, Friends of the Future has provided a home to more than 40 community programs and initiatives. Some have become independent organizations, transitioned to another like-minded organization, completed their work, or are waiting patiently for the right time, right place, and right resource to be realized.

Currently 10 programs actively continue their work as part of Friends of the Future:

* Waipio Valley Community Circle
* Tutu’s House
* Na Kahumoku
* Hui Kuapa
* Hawaii Island Leadership Series – Ulumau
* Hawaii Island Health Care Alliance
* Earl’s Garage
* Collaborative Health Initiative
* Baby STEPS to Stronger Big Island Families

Friends of the Future staff is currently collecting reflections and stories from people who are, or have been, involved with its programs.

Take a moment to let Friends of the Future know: “Why does Friends of the Future matter?” Reflections may be sent to info@fofhawaii.org or call 885-8336
