He Lā Poina ʻole: Nā Nīnauele me nā Mea Kūʻai aku o Melbourne OZI a me nā Kipa Mahiʻai

I kēia mau lā aku nei, ua loaʻa i kā mākou hui ka hauʻoli o ka ninaninau ʻana i kahi mea kūʻai aku ma Melbourne, Australia. Ua kaulana kēia mea kūʻai aku no kāna hōʻailona OZI a me ka hana ʻana i ka pauka waiū kiʻekiʻe a he hoa koʻikoʻi ʻo ia no mākou no 8 mau makahiki. ʻO ka mea kūikawā e pili ana i kēia ninaninau, ʻo ia ka kono koke ʻia ʻana mai iā mākou e kipa i kā lākou mahiʻai a hauʻoli i kahi ʻaina awakea ʻono, kahi i hāʻawi mai i kahi manawa kūikawā e loaʻa ai ka ʻike i kā lākou hana a hoʻoikaika i kā mākou pilina ʻoihana.

Ua mālama ʻia ke ninaninau ma ke keʻena nui o nā mea kūʻai aku ma Melbourne, kahi i loaʻa ai iā mākou kahi hoʻokipa maikaʻi mai ka hui OZI. I ka wā o ke ninaninau, ua loaʻa iā mākou ka ʻike i nā ʻano like ʻole o kā lākou ʻoihana, me ko lākou kūpaʻa i ka hana ʻana i ka pauka waiū kiʻekiʻe, kā lākou hoʻolālā hele-i-ka-mākeke, a me kā lākou hihiʻo no ka wā e hiki mai ana. Ua maopopo he mea nui ko lākou hoʻolaʻa ʻana i ka maikaʻi a me ka hana hou i kā mākou hui kūleʻa i nā makahiki.
Ma hope o kahi ninaninau akamai, ua kāhāhā mākou me ka ʻoluʻolu i ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi kono e kipa aku i ka mahiʻai o kā mākou mea kūʻai aku, aia ma ke kuaʻāina nani ma waho o Melbourne. Me ka makemake e loaʻa ka ʻike mua o kā lākou hana hana, ua ʻae mākou me ka hauʻoli i ka kono. I ko mākou hōʻea ʻana i ka mahiʻai, ua hoʻokipa ʻia mākou e ka mea kūʻai aku a ua hāʻawi ʻia i kahi mākaʻikaʻi o kā lākou mau hale. Mai nā wahi hānai nui kahi e ʻai ai nā bipi a hiki i nā lako hana hou loa, hōʻike kēlā me kēia ʻano o ka hana i kahi kūpaʻa paʻa i ka maikaʻi.

I ka pau ʻana o ka huakaʻi, ua hauʻoli mākou i kahi ʻaina awakea momona i hana ʻia me nā huaʻai hou i lawe pololei ʻia mai ka mahiʻai. ʻO ke ʻano nani o ke kūlanakauhale me ka hoʻokipa maikaʻi a mehana o nā mea hoʻokipa e hana ai i kahi ʻike ʻaina poina ʻole. I ka wā o ka ʻaina, ua loaʻa iā mākou nā kamaʻilio maʻamau a koʻikoʻi i hoʻoikaika hou aku i ka pilina ma waena o kā mākou mau hui.
Hāʻawi nā kipa mahiʻai i ka ʻike i nā loina hoʻomau a me nā hana mahiʻai kūpono o kā mākou mea kūʻai aku. ʻO ka ʻike ʻana i ko lākou hoʻolaʻa ʻana i ka pono o nā holoholona a me ka mālama ʻana i ke kaiapuni e hoʻoikaika i ko mākou hilinaʻi i ka pono o kā lākou huahana. Eia kekahi, ʻo nā pilina a mākou i kūkulu ai i ko mākou manawa ma ka mahiʻai ua hāʻawi i kahi kahua paʻa no ka laulima mau a me ka ulu like ʻana.

Ma keʻano holoʻokoʻa, ua lilo kahi ninaninau maʻamau ma Melbourne i lā kupaianaha i komo i loko o ke ao o kā mākou mau mea kūʻai aku. Ua pīhoihoi kā mākou hui i ka manawa kūpono e ʻike pono i nā hana o loko o kahi mahiʻai a kaʻana like i kahi pāʻina ma kahi ʻano mālie. He hoʻomanaʻo koʻikoʻi ia ʻo nā moʻolelo kanaka a me nā pilina maoli ke kumu o nā hui ʻoihana holomua. Ke kakali nei mākou i nā makahiki he nui o ka laulima hua me OZI a mahalo i ka hoʻokipa mahana a mākou i loaʻa ai i kā mākou kipa ʻana.
