Rockne Freitas, chairman of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs Board of Trustees, presented Certificates of Accomplishment to 20 students of Mrs. Pauline Kane- ta's eighth grade social studies class at The Kameha- meha Schools recently following completion of 14 weeks in Project Business, a program geared to educat- ing youths about business, economics and the free enterprise system. OHA Economic Development Officer James Moa volunteered his time as consultant which involved hours of preparation and teaching Mrs. Kaneta's class once a week during the spring semester. Project Busi- ness is a division of Junior Achievement Inc. , and is in its .. , fifth year of providing an economic education program for eighth and ninth grade social studies classes on both the public and private school campuses. Moa's involvement is the first representation for OHA in this program which has more than 200 such business consultants involved in introducing students to the principles and language of economics and busi- ness.

He breifly told the class how he invested his money in Merchant Mariners Remembered small businesses here following his playing days in the National Football League. "I put some money away, came home to start some small businesses and worked real hard to make a go of it ," Freitas remarked. The OHA chairman reminded his young audience it is always a risk to start or go into business but that every effort must go into making it a success. "We all should take ourselves as far as we can; get all the expertise and knowledge you can," he advised. He further declared it would be good to get all the practical, classroom and street education possible be- cause they all come in handy in any business endeavor. "It is similar in sports. Its not how good you play; just the fact you participate is important enough," he said. A little known fact about Freitas has been his com- munity involvement with alienated youths in Wahiawa where he counsels them two nights a week and teaches martial arts on Saturdays. Freitas proved himself a very respOnsive role model as the students gave him their undivided attention and relished the informatipn given by Moa that he was a for- mer star lineman in the NFL and a local businessman to boot.

Kaiponohea Hale from The Kamehameha Schools Hawaiian Studies Institute and an entertainer himself, was called on stage by Emma and they thrilled the packed lunch hour crowd with two beautiful duets.
