Sponsors and Supporters

An event like Ka 'Aha Hula 'O Hālauaola 2005 World Conference on Hula is successful only because of the many organizations, sponsors, and supporters. Mahalo a nui loa for believing in the importance of hula and Hawaiian culture.  Mahalo also for your time, energy, financial support and kōkua. It is because of your assistance that our efforts to maintain the cultural practices and traditions of the Native Hawaiian people are able to continue.

Ka 'Aha Hula 'O Hālauaola 2005 would not have occurred except for the extraordinary support given by Kumu Hula, hālau hula, cultural practitioners, educators, and people who love Hawai'i.  Without the hospitality and outpouring of aloha from the people of Maui, this conference would not have happened. Without the tireless efforts of the staff, volunteers, and supporters, this conference would be but a dream.  It may be a small thing to say mahalo, but it carries all the depth of gratitude and appreciation held within this simple word.

The knowledge and wisdom that was shared during the conference brings strength to the culture and continues to build the foundation for future generations.  We will forever be indebted to our teachers who took the time and had the patience to nurture and satisfy our desire to know.  We will forever be indebted to our ancestors and their remarkable understanding of their home and its people.  We will forever be appreciative to all who love Hawai'i and work continually for its well-being.
