HOʻOMAU / PERPETUAL ~ the root rests in that which is Perpetual and everlasting. Thus the qualities that ring true to this value called Hoʻomau are unceasing, constant, continual and forever.

​

HOʻOLALE / ADVOCACY ~ the essence of Advocacy is entwined in the Hawaiian word Hoʻolale which means to encourage, urge on, stir into action, hasten, incite, suggest strongly.

​

PONO / BALANCE ~ as codified by H.M. King Kamehameha III at the return of sovereignty to the Hawaiian Kingdom, Pono embellishes a royal decree of uprightness, moral duty, balance, wellness, excellence, goodness, propriety, justness and fairness.

​

ALOHA / COMPASSION ~ the Hawaiian word Aloha encompasses the essence of Compassion, mercy, kindness and charity. We endeavor to dispel the myths that Aloha is simply hello and goodbye.
