Growing up in Hawai'i, people often ask,"What makes Hawai'i Hawai'i?" My answer is,"It's the 'keiki' — the children." Even as adults, Hawai'ians consider ourselves"Keiki O Ka 'Aina" or"children of the land." Often, we fail to nurture the earth we live on and recognize the people that make up our community.
With that, I aspired to spread awareness by first targeting those who were willing to listen. I went to schools and farmers' markets, and took to social media to spread awareness of both my fundraiser and issues of human trafficking. I am beyond happy that so many people were willing to support me, including friends, family and strangers at home and overseas.
Her determination to stand up for child victims of human trafficking and exploitation gave Hawaiian college student Ashley Cobile the courage to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in 2018.Fundraising was an uphill battle almost as difficult as reaching the summit of Mount Kiliminjaro, the tallest peak in Africa.Don't miss a beat! There were many times where I felt like I needed to hurry as other hikers overtook me.
I was also excited to have local companies such as Olukai, Progene Hawaii and Ao Organics, and foreign companies like Ohm Skincare on board to support my fundraising efforts. Because of UNICEF, my supporters, friends and family, I was able to reach the summit successfully!
