Oh, goodness! The amount of new things learned at ClubCharm are absolutely mind-blowing! When I was the girls' ages, I never imagined a place like ClubCharm at all, but what a treat it is. What other place would be get to bake bread one day, then learn to make wili leis the next!? That's right, it could be at home... But that what ClubCharm has become for us Big Sisters and Charmlings. We are learning life skills that enable us all to be the best version of ourselves.
The activity for today was to make wili leis! Wow, I have much appreciation for everyone who knows how to do this. We worked in partners today, because teamwork is always great. The girls picked up so quickly and were very into making their wili lei beautifully patterned. Thanks to Aunty Lani of course!!! Aunty Lani also brought a DVD from Keali'i Reichel's halau concert in 2006 that was held at the Blaisdell Center. This completely put everyone in the mood with the beautiful music, voices, dances and the examples of great haku leis, hula skirts/attire in general that were most likely made by the halau members themselves.
Speaking of doing things for ourselves, our chit-chat for today was about cleaning up after yourself. It is respectful to others and covers the ClubCharm motto of being responsible for our actions and kind and considerate of others. The girls showed their actual real-life examples of ways that they clean up after themselves. The girls cleaning up after themselves also makes it easier for their parents as it is one less thing to do .
