Kūkuluao and Ka Lama Education Academy (KKLEA)

Testimonials

Ka Lama Education Academy Testimonials

“Ka Lama Education Academy has really helped me in attending college. At the age of eighteen I had spent a whole year of doing nothing.  Geanine McIntosh helped us fill out our applications for Leeward Community College and helped us with our FAFSA.  Ka Lama also helped us by holding refresher courses.  I know that I can always go to them for help and that is why I am so grateful.  Because of Ka Lama, my sister and I are now succeeding in college and on our way to becoming teachers!”

“Ka Lama assisted me by guiding me in the right steps. Going to school was a task in itself, but knowing that a counselor who knew where I was coming from was there for me, it eased the situation. The Academy also helped me overcome one of the biggest barriers, finding money to pay for my education. They helped me find money through scholarships, reminded me about deadlines, and provided school materials when I financially could not afford it.”
