Finish the sentence, “I wish I had…”
More time to give back to the community.

  • Myles is the kind of person we need at HCF because of his deep understanding of the community and for The Hawaiian Legacy Foundation in particular - - to support our vision to perpetuate authentic Hawaiian cultural continuity with educational and documentary programs. It is a tribute to Kelvin Taketa's leadership to again find another great staff member for HCF.
    Me ke aloha,
