We would like to send out our sincere thanks and gratitude to Roy Yamamoto Jr and the New Hope Prison Ministry team for coming out to Farrington High School to speak.
New Hope’s Prison Ministry is aimed at serving the prison population of Hawaii; a population comprised of both the incarcerated inmate, as well as the family left behind. And it’s many times those waiting on the outside who are the forgotten ones – a mother or father forced into single parent responsibilities, children who must adapt to living without the guidance of a father or mother. The team also shared about the influence of drugs, alcohol, and the importance of making wise decisions in life.
The 110 + students in attendance were able to ask questions and get answers to topics that hit close to home many of them. Paul Onishi and his Culinary Academy were on hand with Pizza and cookies for everyone in attendance.
