Everyone is invited. Donations will be accepted to support Sustainable Education onHawai‘iIsland.

Lunch will be provided by Hawai‘i Habitat for Humanity.

More details from Liz at Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity and Green Collar Technologies are partnering for green jobs training on the west side of the Big Island!  To kick off this partnership, we are getting our hands dirty with a raised bed organic garden project.  A few Green Collar Technologies instructors and students will be attending.  Habitat for Humanity volunteers are encouraged to participate- we could use the help!  Habitat volunteers- come out and help and learn more about composting and organic gardening for on-site food production!

Arrive at 11:00 and leave by 2:00- lunch and cold drinks provided.  Bring your own bottle for water refills, work clothes, and gloves if you have them.  We should have some extra gloves if you do not have a pair to bring.

A map of the area is below… the address is 61-4003 Kailopa Street Kawaihae, HI 96743

Looking forward to seeing everyone there- feel free to contact me on my cell if you have any questions after Wednesday since I will be on island and away from my office on Oahu.  My cellphone number 919.210.0207.

Mahalo!
