Our honoree is Cyril Pahinui – Straight From the Heart. Cyril Pahinui, born April 21, 1950 grew up on the remote Windward Coast of O‘ahu on Hawaiian Homestead in Waimānalo. The Pahinui home on Bell Street was a gathering place for the top Hawaiian musicians. Jam sessions of mythological proportions lasted for days. It was here that Cyril learned music in the traditional way, nana ka maka; ho‘olohe ka pepeiao, pa‘a ka waha, by listening and watching some of Hawai‘i’s foremost musicians, including his dad, music legend Gabby Pahinui. Cyril began participating in these kanikapila from the time he could hold a ‘ukulele, at 7, learning ki ho‘alu, and by age 12, performing professionally and soon after, recording on five of his father’s best known releases.

EVANSTON, Ill. (Aug. 17, 2018) — Preventing conflicts from escalating into violent crises is 60 times more cost effective than intervening after violence erupts, according to the Carnegie Corporation of New York. A recent partnership between the membership service organization Rotary and Mediators Beyond Borders International (MBBI) aims to bring community-based solutions to prevent conflict in more communities.
MBBI – an impact organization founded on the principle of people-centered peacebuilding – has been working with Rotary since 2013 to advance the common goals for peace. This new partnership will enable Rotary members to train with MBBI to sharpen their mediation, dialogue, and other conflict transformation skills. Rotary’s 1.2 million members, located in over 200 countries and regions, will help MBBI expand its network of trained mediators – potentially transforming conflict in communities not previously reached. MBBI’s members are at the center of a movement for global peacebuilding through advocacy, capacity building and consultations.
