As the Pauahi Foundation celebrates 30 years, we reconnected with one of our earliest scholarship recipients, Jonathan Kua. Featured then as a math teacher and proud UH Hilo graduate, Kua reflected on how Pauahi Foundation scholarships helped him support his young family and build a stable future. Today, his journey has come full circle: now a woodshop kumu at KS Hawai‘i, he inspires haumāna to discover their strengths and explore careers in the trades. With a thriving ‘ohana and nine mo‘opuna, Kua continues to embody the lasting impact of Ke Ali‘i Pauahi’s legacy.
It is through educational systems change that we can restore the Native Hawaiian people and uplift the lāhui.
Together, we can uplift the lāhui. We can create positive change. Join us today in giving with Pauahi.
