In 2021, during unprecedented times, I am thankful for the challenges, opportunities, blessings, and accomplishments of the many that make up our PAF ‘Ohana. 

We try always to reflect the wisdom of our ancestors, which inspires us to seek positive ways of moving forward while being mindful of our history and Kuleana (responsibility).

Mahalo for your continued support as we work to meet the needs of our community.
