Schools remain closed after the deadly fires on Maui. Parents say it's important to keep their community from being displaced indefinitely.
The Princess Nahi'ena'ena Elementary School in Lahaina is closed pending the results of air, water and soil tests.
"I can't imagine what it's like to be in your shoes," he responded to a mother who was pleading to re-open schools in Lahaina."But know that we will do our best in moving forward to make those decisions to support your students, to support you, and this Lahaina community."Many kids on Maui missed out on an important ritual this year – going back to school.
Samantha Kawaakoa lives in the neighborhood with her son, a five-minute walk from the elementary school he would usually attend."My name is Kaikane, I'm from here and I'm 8," the boy announces to visiting reporters."There's only one Kaikane," she says proudly. He's outgoing, she adds.
The home they live in didn't burn – but that doesn't mean it's safe, says Kawaakoa."Every time that we cook rice, wash dishes or brush our teeth, we use bottled water, and when we come outside, we wear our mask as much as possible," Kawaakoa says,"It's very annoying, but we got to protect ourselves, cause no one's gonna do it for us, you know?"
