Photos: Maryknoll mask donation

06/10/2020 by Hawaii Catholic Herald

The Maryknoll School family donated more than 2,500 reusable handmade fabric masks to two local nonprofit organizations, Lanakila Pacific and Navian Hawaii (formerly Hospice Hawaii), May 22, to help kupuna and nurses stay protected against COVID-19. For two-and-a-half weeks, using repurposed Maryknoll aloha-print fabric, families, alumni and community members took up needle and thread to sew more than 2,500 masks, far more than the 1,000 goal. The donations were dropped off at the school at a contactless drive-thru. Students also wrote personal letters to help the kupuna stay in good spirits as part of Lanakila Pacific’s Letters2OurKupuna project. (Photos courtesy of Keenan Kurihara )
