MEDIA ADVISORY

Promise to Our Keiki group honored in renaming of “Keep Hawai‘i Hawai‘i” Bill

Children to present compelling educational video Tuesday morning

(HONOLULU, HAWAII) — Inspired by the grassroots efforts of Leah Dakroub and Rylee Brooke Kamahele, each 11 when they co-wrote their “Promise to Our Keiki” bill, Councilmember Kymberly Pine has invited the young, culturally and environmentally minded youth to the Business, Economic Development and Tourism Committee meeting Tuesday morning.

“This is their day to shine and be recognized,” said Councilmember Pine. She has renamed Bill 51 the “Keep Hawai‘i Hawai‘i — Promise to Our Keiki Pledge” in their honor. She has invited them to present the video they produced in support of their heartfelt ‘aina- and endangered species-protecting efforts, to committee members.

The compelling video was prepared as an example of the type of engaging, cautionary and educational material that can be shown to visitors before they arrive on O‘ahu.

The children’s presentation will be part of the BEDT meeting, which begins at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 22 in the City Council Chamber. The public is welcome.
