HAWAI`I’S MISSING WATER ON VOICES OF TRUTH – ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`I’S FUTURE

Wai is the word in Hawaiian meaning fresh water. Many places throughout Hawai`i have a name starting with those three letters, yet there’s no water there. At least not any more.

So where did the water go?

Join us this week as we debut our newest Voices Of Truth show featuring Maui activist Johanna Kamaunu as she went on a journey to find out.

We’re sure you'll be as fascinated as we are. Johanna’s another example this week of someone who decided to get involved to help make Hawai`i a better place to live on Voices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i’s Future.
