We travel to Oahu for our second episode where we attend the 2008 Kokua Festival. In supporting an amazing cause, our host Maria has the opportunity to talk with various green vendors and listens to some great musicians.

The Kokua Festival is a show that raises money and awareness for The Kokua Foundation. The foundation supports environmental education in the schools and communities of Hawai’i. This is the fifth annual festival and it brings with it five incredible musicians and sixty green vendors and non-profits. We take you around the festival to showcase this zero waste concert and show you organizations that you can volunteer with when visiting Hawaii.

Hi everyone!

Maria and I just got back from Hawaii and it was amazing!!! We are two very lucky girls to have gone to such a beautiful place and talk to so many inspiring people. First off I want to thank Stacey Angeles, our camera woman extreme. She flew out there from NYC to film episode two and she did an amazing job capturing Hawaii at it’s best.

So I am just starting to go through all of our footage and the first segment that I am working on is The Kokua Festival. If you ever have a chance to go to Hawaii and attend this concert please do! The Kokua Festival is sponsored by “The Kokua Foundation which is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that supports environmental education in the schools and communities of Hawai’i. Their mission is to provide students with exciting and interactive encounters that will enhance their appreciation for and understanding of their environment so that they will be lifelong stewards of the earth,” kokuahawaiifoundation.org.

Hi!

My name is Kim Rowe and I am the Co-Creator and Producer of golivegive.com, a green volunteer travel show.

We want to show people how they can vacation green and volunteer while traveling. We shot our first episode in Los Angeles and provided viewers with a green hotel, organic restaurant, eco-friendly fashion and a volunteer option they can do in a day.

We will, from now on, be publishing our episodes right here on Green Blog for you to enjoy. You can check out the first episode below or on golivegive.com.
