Kayleeah, Lihue Clubhouse
Aloha! My name is Kayleeah and I am 10 years old.
I’ve been a member of the Lihue Boys & Girls Club for the past 4 years. I first started going to the Club when Covid kept us home from school and we had to do distance learning. Boys & Girls Club of Hawaii gave me a great place to learn and get help with my schoolwork, and I also got to have fun and make new friends during such a lonely and scary time.
I still look forward to going to the Club every day because there are always new activities and fun things to do. It’s not just fun, though! We learn so many cool things like gardening, fishing, science experiments, cooking, art, staying healthy, and even learning about different cultures! Plus, they teach us how to clean and be organized with Club Service. I feel good helping to keep the Club safe and clean for everyone!
What I love most is dancing with my friends at the Club. I joined the dance program where we learned hip-hop, performed, and made some awesome music videos. Recently, I’ve been taking hula classes every Monday with Ho’ola Lahui Hawaii! I’ve been dancing since I was 5 and I’m proud to be a part of Hula Halau Ka Lei Mokihana O Leina’ala from Kalaheo, Kauai. I’m super excited to join my hula brothers and sisters at this year’s Keiki Hula Competition. I love that I can keep growing as a student and dancer with the safety and support of the Club and Boys & Girls Club staff.
Thank you, Boys & Girls Club!
