To many, Hawaiʻi may seem to be an idealistic, tropical paradise. However, the reality of our island communities is one shrouded in health disparities that disproportionately affect native Kānaka Maoli populations. Our overarching trip goal is to engage students with the rural community of Hilo and actively participate in contributing to the improvement of local healthcare access. Hawai’i is so much more than just a vacation destination; it is a place of deep-rooted culture and communities rich in compassion and generosity. Through our ASB trip, we want to shine a light on these underrepresented issues, build meaningful relationships with local leaders, and volunteer to support community-driven solutions. Join us to raise awareness by being advocates for health equity and help us mālama Hawaiʻi.
