POST Community Project:
On June 2, 10 brave souls ventured to a National Guard-secured area at Keehi Lagoon to deliver a teri chicken hot meal to 23 homeless individuals who were quarantined and confined to tents. The individuals were very thankful for the meal and a cold drink. Their daily meals are MREs, so you can imagine that a tasty hot meal would be welcomed. Thank you for Kahu John Vaughn for arranging the food preparation with the Hawaii Baptist Disaster Response team and the following members who participated: Caroline and Doug Yee, Sharon and Cleigh Pang, Jeff Ventura, Stan Wong, Rod Moriyama, Aimee Doud, John Vaughn and Naomi Masuno.
This community service project to provide occasional hot meals when the HOME van makes a site visit was brainchild of Dr. James Ham, an ER Doctor at Straub and the President of the RC of Honolulu Sunset. The H.O.M.E. (Homeless Outreach / Medical Education) van is there every Saturday and Tuesdays. The UH Med students were there on site to provide medical attention and monitoring to the individuals. The camp is actively patrolled by HPD and the National Guardsmen guard the entrances.
