Waipā Interns

This collection of images captures students working hands-on in the lo’i, cultivating taro and caring for the land, diligently weed-whacking invasive plants to restore native ecosystems, and learning the traditional art of imu, an underground oven used to cook pig, reflecting a deep respect for food and communal practices. Through internships, Waipā provides an invaluable opportunity for students to reconnect with their cultural roots while actively contributing to environmental conservation. These experiences instill responsibility and pride in their heritage, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to be stewards of our planet. Join us in celebrating the fusion of culture, education, and environmental protection as we empower our youth to carry forward the legacy of sustainability.
