IT'S ABOUT GIVING - NOT GETTING - ON VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`I'S FUTURE
Mahalo to all of you who contacted us over the past week with your mana`o (thoughts) on our new segment with Marie Beltran.
It was surprising just how much response it generated.
About half of you wrote to say how moved and touched you were by Marie’s aloha spirit and amazing dignity.
The rest expressed strong feelings of anger and indignity that people such as Marie would be houseless in Hawai`i in the first place.
Such are the extremes we find all too often in a Hawai`i illegally occupied by the US.
The common message from everyone however was the need for a Hawai`i that is not about winning a political game rife with inequalities, but about creating a society that produces better lives.
As we have seen ever so clearly in Iraq over the last four years, it can’t be done while another country with overwhelming military might is occupying yours.
Nevertheless, the path to a Free Hawai`i starts one person at a time and Marie Beltran and those like her are walking that path every single day.
What about you? What are you doing to kokua (help?)
It’s all in the giving, not the getting, as we see every week right here on Voices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i’s Future.

“Life On The Beach – A Visit With Marie Beltran”
What would it be like to be houseless and living on the beach with your family?
Marie Beltran has called Mokule`ia beach home for the last fourteen years.
Yet here’s the most amazing part – she lives there because she wants to.
Marie tells us she’s had visitors literally from all over the world come and visit – and sometimes stay for dinner.
And even though she has aloha for everyone, don’t take her for granted. She’s quick to remind us all that aloha is a two way street.
You’ll hear her message to the US federal government – “We treated you with aloha when you arrived; now treat us with aloha by returning our Nation.”
Don’t miss this moving segment with this very special person, See life through the eyes of a family which lives life far simpler than most of us, yet rich with aloha for everyone.
Voices Of Truth interviews those creating a better future for Hawai`i to discover what made them go from armchair observers to active participants in the hopes of inspiring viewers to do the same.
