Play is powerful 💛

As we recognize Child Abuse Prevention Month, we’re uplifting the role of play in helping keiki feel safe, connected, and supported. From bonding with caregivers to building confidence and resilience, play is a key part of healthy development.

MAUI: ʻOhana Fest: E Ulu Ē – Growing Stronger Together 🌿

In honor of Child Abuse Prevention Month, families are invited to Hoʻoikaika Partnership’s 6th annual ʻOhana Fest — a FREE community celebration filled with connection, culture, resources, and fun for the whole ʻohana!

✨ Entertainment
✨ Cultural activities
✨ Games & prizes
✨ Community resources
✨ Fun for keiki and families

This year’s theme, “E Ulu Ē – Growing Stronger Together,” is inspired by the ulu tree — a symbol of nourishment, strong roots, resilience, and care across generations. Just like the ulu tree, our families and communities grow stronger when nurtured with love and support.

📅 Saturday, April 11, 2026
⏰ 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Come celebrate community, resilience, and a future full of abundance for our keiki. We hope to see you there! 💚
