“Over the past two months of rehearsing with her peers, my daughter has grown in confidence and is learning to be more graceful, organized, and committed to a larger purpose.”

“The Little Miss Kona Coffee Program has helped our daughter, Taira, in several surprising ways. From the start, she was challenged to begin moving beyond her comfort zone and often pushed through shyness to reach out to adults in our community for support and connection. Taira has learned to take initiative to address an issue that is important to her. Once she developed her focus on clean shorelines and protecting our reef systems, she decided to organize 2 beach clean-ups and helped write a song to inspire everyone to research the chemicals that keep sunscreens from being truly Reef Safe. “Over the past two months of rehearsing with her peers, my daughter has grown in confidence and is learning to be more graceful, organized, and committed to a larger purpose.”
