KOI FOR A GOOD CAUSE:

Hanalei Taro Patch, a limited edition print of an original silk painting by Katherine Fisher is being offered for sale as a fundraiser for Hawaii Health Guide Health & Wellness Scholarship Fund. The signed and numbered prints depict a Boy’s Day colorful koi kite flying above the taro fields of Hanalei. The prints are being offered for $45 including shipping and tax. 100% of the net proceeds will go towards the 2008 Health & Wellness Scholarship Fund.

The prints can also be purchased directly from Hanapepe Cafe & Espresso and at the Hawaii Healing Garden Festival at Malama Kauai on June 21 2008

ABOUT BOYS’ DAY:

Boy’s day is traditionally celebrated May 5th. Tango no Sekku also called the "Fest of banners" and is observed with colorful kites flying above the houses in the shape of carp. The carp has become the symbol of the Boys’ Festival because the Japanese consider it the most spirited of fish, so full of energy and power that it can fight its way up swift-running streams and cascades. Because of its strength and determination to overcome all obstacles, it stands for courage and the ability to attain high goals.

The carp is an appropriate symbol to encourage overcoming of life’s difficulties leading to consequent success, and is a perfect symbol for encouraging students towards excellence with the Scholarship Fund..

During the Boys’ Day festival, girls are the guests of their brothers, just as the boys are guests during Girls’ Day, celebrated in March.

ABOUT THE HEALTH & WELLNESS SCHOLARSHIP:

The Hawaii Health Guide Health & Wellness Education Scholarship Fund provides encouragement, recognition and financial support since 2006 to selected Hawaii students who are electing to pursue careers in Health & Wellness in Hawaii.

There is not an age limit but the students must be studying in Hawaii. High school students and people pursuing a mid life change of career are equally welcome to apply.
