There is a crucial need for Kupu—it is vital for anyone who is interested in giving back to the community and to the islands. Kupu taught me how to become a leader, have compassion towards the environment, and respect the cultural heritage of the land. The skills I learned are directly applicable to my position today. It opened doors for me professionally and exposed me to opportunities for future employment.
