Waikiki Health Pharmacy PEOPLE CARE offers delivery service. Volume XXVIII • 2021 A Message from the Helping Geraldo Board President Geraldo, age 76, moved to Hawaii in 2019 from Alaska. Originally from Colombia, By Edward Springer, he said, “when I got to Hawaii, I remember Board President, thinking that this is the most beautiful place Waikiki Health on earth. I stayed in a hostel for a few months, found a job cleaning gyms and was looking The Waikiki Health forward to a new start and an exciting future. Board of Directors did not When COVID-19 hit the Islands, I lost my want 2020 to pass without recognizing you, job and my money was running out. I had our donors. As we start 2021, there is hope Geraldo, former Next Step Shelter resident the harsh realization that I was going to be on the horizon —we and everyone in our homeless. I put the few things I had in storage and packed a small bag with some community, are being vaccinated against essential items and left the hostel. This was a very scary time for me. I hardly slept COVID-19. Hopefully, by later this year, because I was afraid of getting robbed, and my health was becoming a concern. To our lives will return to normalcy. But first kill time, I walked around the hotels. Some hotel workers would ask if I was staying we want to acknowledge the end of 2020 by there and then ask me to leave the property. The bus was a nice relief but if I tried to saying THANK YOU! close my eyes to get some rest, I was asked to exit the bus.
2017 – 2018 Judiciary History Center Annual Report

King Kamehameha V Judiciary History Center 2017-2018 Annual Report Statue of Kamehameha I King Kamehameha V Lot Kapuāiwa, grandson of Kamehameha I, ascended the throne in 1863 and was the last Kamehameha to rule the Kingdom of Hawai‘i. As a national leader, Lot made foreign relations and the preservation of independence his primary objectives. His advocacy for Hawaiians inspired a cultural renaissance which included the revival of hula and chant and licensing of medical kāhuna to practice their healing arts. During his reign, Lot commissioned a number of public works including the construction of Ali‘iōlani Hale. In 2000, the Judiciary History Center was renamed to the King Kamehameha V Judiciary History Center in his honor. History of Ali‘iōlani Hale Historic Ali‘iōlani Hale provides the ideal environment for the Judiciary History Center. Initiated during the reign of Kamehameha V and completed during the reign of Kalākaua, Ali‘iōlani Hale opened its doors in 1874. The Legislature and the Supreme Court of the Kingdom of Hawai‘i were the original occupants of the building. After the overthrow of the Monarchy in 1893, the Legislature moved to ‘Iolani Palace. Ali‘iōlani Hale has remained the home of the Supreme Court for well over 100 years. The National Museum, the first museum in Hawai‘i, opened in Ali‘iōlani Hale in 1874. For many years, the National Museum occupied rooms on the second floor and welcomed visitors to view its fine collection of Hawaiian artifacts. In 1898, the Republic of Hawaiʻi's government transferred ownership of the collection to the Bishop Museum.
