Students gathered at Round Table Pizza in La Verne in support of the Nginn Karet Foundation for Cambodia on March 15. About 15 people came to the event at around 6 p.m.
Students and faculty members were greeted with colorful leis and invited to sit down, dine on Hawaiian cuisine and soak up the light and breezy island atmosphere at the annual lu’au held by Kanaka Hui Ohana, the University of La Verne’s Hawaiian club, on May 12 in the University Mall.
The variety of festive foods, ranging from kalua (roasted pig) to sushi, that have been featured at annual luaus, the diversity of its members, and the name “Kanaka Hui O’hana” itself are all telltale signs that the University of La Verne’s Hawaiian club is not only for Hawaiians.
