In the Hawaiian language Kokua means help. It is another word with a deep and rich history like Aloha, which isn't simply a greeting but also a philosophy about treating others with love and compassion. Mahalo, meaning thank you, encompasses the spirit of gratitude.
As a foundation of and a way of life in Hawaii, Kokua is the Mana of kindness with a desire to help one another in a loving and sacrificial way without expecting anything in return. In Hawaii this important concept is taught to children from a young age by the Kupuna, who are the older people honored with Aloha as grandparents and ancestors by all. Kupunas are the source of experience, knowledge, guidance, strength and inspiration to the next generations.
They are a blessing being the ones we came from, who have lived before us
and who we live for today.
Living together with Kokua, the people stand strong.
There are no limits to the timeless Mana of Kokua!
