Sunshine School
I’ve always loved volunteering at Sunshine School in beautiful Kailua. I’m a huge fan of the current director. I can’t wait to go back again next time.
I built some cute quite spaces at sunshine school. It’s a place where a kid can go and calm down if they are having a fussy day. They are up high and have a little window so that the kids can look out at their classmates and come and join the group when they are ready.
Aok Foundation awarded some of its volunteers the “Presidential Service Award”. That’s right! Some of our family have done so much volunteer work that they’re receiving a national award.
In June of 2020 we helped rebuild the Sunshine School tire playground. The first step was to order new lumber. Luckily, Wayne’s Lumber was able to supply us with some great lumber. We ripped out all the old, rotted lumber and moved a few tires around.
We rebuilt a nice, strong frame. Then we decked over it with 2x6s. My favorite part is the bench we built around the outer edge and the nice little stool for the teacher at the top. Min Plastics was also nice enough to donate the acrylic for the see-through floor and the window. We built a whole lot of interesting little ropes and pulleys in the tunnel. It was a great project.
In the middle of 2020 a group of very generous people got together (6 feet apart) and built a train for a preschool they didn’t even have kids in. It was a project of pure love. It took a full month of work on weekends and even a few late nights.
