- In Hawaii, only 4 out 10 students finish high school. And in the town of Waianae, one of the poorest regions in the state, the problem is even worse. But this farm is changing the narrative - helping native students attend college by paying their tuition and teaching them ancestral farming practices.

there aren't enough positive comments on here so I'll go ahead and leave one. Your land is who you are. Cultivate it, connect with it, love it and it will love you back. Don't listen to people who say it's a waste of time, or not high paying enough. You can't eat money. You are gaining more knowledge of the earth and your ancestors only you can carry on. Keep moving forward. Sending love from Guåhan
Big love to Kukui, Garry, Kamuela and the whole whanau of MA'O farms. I visited this amazing enterprise a couple of weeks ago and left totally uplifted. This youth leadership programme has answers for the world. support them grow!
From the Māori whānau of Aotearoa, New Zealand, you all inspire us. We love who you are and where you are heading. Take care and continue the inspirational creation here for indigenous people.
I love it.
I wish there’s a program like this for academics or students who are studying to be researchers
Good little documentary about people relearning what makes us really happy, after one of many societies that had attempted to replace spiritual values with materialistic ones. Making money is important, but really shouldn't go to high up in your priorities, if you want to be happy.
My Grandfather had a Dairy Farm it taught me how important the Earth and Water are to us living healthy lives.
This is such a good thing. I love seeing people taking care of the Earth and themselves.
Why the dislikes?
Great idea! Another example of POC women leading the resistance.
Trade schools are helping to fix the broken educational system, best of luck to these young people and their educators.. ❤️
excellent! Much aloha, I will but my organics from them rom now on.
New with a silent K...... ❤️
Instead of scholarships and stipends, why not engage in profit sharing and collective ownership?
Talk about the brazillian political moment pls!!!
but the plastic tho...i dont know. it really is a problem.
People not having food to eat is really a problem.
If they don't plan to work outside their small community, they generally don't need college degrees. So why is college degree important in the first place for these rural folks?

They may have dreams that they wanna reach.
One needs $35 an hour to afford a 2 bedroom apartment in Hawaii. There is no such thing as rural people of Oahu. Land for the indigenous islanders is taken away on a regular basis as well.
If they have a dream they probably will pursue it with more dedication and not fail and drop out like those mentioned in this video.
As for $35 an hour issue, i guess that is happening everywhere that is getting development. So not much you can do about that even with college degree, I assume you still might need to move out of Hawaii to get $35 an hour work.
Someone has to explain what is the value of higher education? Smh
Your caption is incorrect, false, misleading. Please fact check.
So.... exploitation?
Giving poor people university degrees aren't gonna give them wealth/stability in any way, as evident in some even more well off white university graduates who are lucky to get barista work.
I get there might be good intention, but it the end this farm is benefiting off of cheap native hawaiian labour.
That's reductive. Did we watch the same video? It's mentioned they are teaching the students dual competencies, by applying their ancestral practices in a contemporary space.
The point of your argument is that this isn't an equivalent exchange, but it's clear the internship programs provide so much more than tuition and stipends.
Looks like a stupid hippie project... but if that's what they value and its helping people pay for college and stay out of trouble, then more power to ya.
Welp, I wouldn't call it stupid since it's showing results, but... whatever you say.
