Help For Hauula Elementary
Yin Sit Sha, a 107-year-old organization, presented a $1,000 check to Hauula Elementary School. Members of Yin Sit Sha are descendants of the early Chinese settlers in Punaluu, many of whom were rice farmers. The donation will go toward the purchase of books for the school library's leveled reading classes.
