The ‘Aha Pūnana Leo, best known for our Language Nest Preschools, is the leading entity in Hawai‘i and the United States for indigenous language revitalization. In the past twenty years, the ‘Aha Pūnana Leo has moved the Hawaiian language from a population with less than forty children speakers to one with over 2,000 children speakers. ‘Aha Pūnana Leo is committed to use of the Hawaiian language at all times—in ‘Aha Pūnana Leo programs, from preschools to graduate school, and from canoe sailing lessons to contemporary computerized offices. The ‘Aha Pūnana Leo is an active partner in the community—both the Native Hawaiian community and the broader multiracial community of Hawai‘i, fostering academic, social and economic progress. The organization's reach expands beyond the Hawaiian Islands to other indigenous communities, especially other Native American communities, where the ‘Aha Pūnana Leo model is assisting other peoples in their efforts to save their languages from extinction. We remain committed and focused on our vision, E ola ka ‘ōlelo Hawai‘i, the Hawaiian language shall live.

We have acquired a facility for use on the Big Island of Hawaii. The grounds are extensive, well maintained and secure, and the home that will serve as the children's home is spacious, warm and serene. We could not ask for a more beautiful facility to care for our children. Our immediate needs are to raise funds to support our mission for the first three years of operation. Our annual operating budget is $676,576.

The name Ulu La‘au means "Garden of Trees". The Park is a 10 acre parcel of State land in the heart of Waimea town, leased by Waimea Outdoor Circle for environmental research, education and restoration. Our plan is to remove invasive/noxious plant species and replace them with endangered and threatened plant species. We will provide long-term maintenance of these plants, and provide an opportunity for environmental education for local school groups and the general public. The Park can also be a wonderful place to gather, picnic or simply stroll and enjoy, an asset for our community.

Mission Statement: The mission of Waimea Community Education is to meet the educational needs of North Hawaii residents, providing the community with quality, affordable instruction for job training and development of professional skills, in addition to learning opportunities for personal enjoyment.
