IntroductionOur names are Laakea Cadang, Kruise Kaapana, Jeila Dalumpinis, and Shelbee Edayan. We are four students from Kamehameha Schools, in the tenth grade. The purpose of our kahiau project is to help feed those in need, like homeless, mentally ill, or elderly people who can’t feed themselves. We chose to do a food drive, because we agreed that starvation is a global problem, and that we could do something small to help out people suffering from it.
The Institute for Human services is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to ending homelessness in Hawaii. There main purpose is to get people off the streets and into homes and the community. They state that "By working with partners in government, business, and community organizations, IHS provides a spectrum of core services, embraces innovative solutions, and advocated for system changes through public education and community outreach." They have homeless shelters, family and meal programs, public education, homeless outreach, etc... in order to help them achieve their goal. |
Drives4Doubt: The Reason Behind the NameWelcome to Drives4Doubt! Why we chose the name Drives4Doubt is because not everyone in the world has their next meal guaranteed for them. There are people who doubt that they will be able to eat today. We wanted to focus on and help those people so that one day, no one has that doubt. We want to work so that we can help those in need get meals. We want to give hope to those who have doubt. Just like a food drive, this is a drive for doubt.

PSA
Core Questions
- 1. Predict if everyone contributed towards a more sustainable lifestyle, how would this change drought and famine?
2. What do you notice about Hawaiʻi’s homeless? Why are there so many?
3. Identify the patterns between food waste and hungry homeless. How can we change this? Or even start to help?
4. Does unemployment have anything to do with hunger? What about the cost of living being to high?
5. Something to think deeper about is that in the world, there are people who are obese and eat to much, and then there are people who die from starvation, why is this?
Global and Local Need
Health strongly relies on the foundation of a person’s childhood. Due to the fact one can be malnourished or lacking in the nutrients needed to survive can gravely effect how bones and muscles may develop and deter them in everyday life. 15% of Australians (3.6 million) confess to not having a steady or secure income in food. Minimum wage in Hawai’i is about $10.10 per hour. Average price per person when it comes to monthly groceries is $75 - $125. Minimum wage is very unlikely to cover the expenses of daily life such as paying for rent, buying food, buying new clothes, etc.
In Asia and Africa, 99 Million children under the age of 5 are drastically underweight and malnourished. 1 in every 6 households struggle with hunger in the U.S. alone. One person dies each second because of hunger. These are the hard statistics that show us that hunger is everywhere and that it is a global problem that impacts everyone. Everyone on this planet today and everyone that will be living on it… hunger impacts them.
Hawai’i, aloha state is often seen as paradise but a problem burns within our homes. Many people struggle to keep up with the expenses of living in paradise. 168,030 people within Hawai’i battle with hunger. Of those 168,030 almost 55,000 are children making the ratios 1 in every 6 children may not have food to eat at home. It’s reported that people in Hawai’i would need $93,916,000 in order to survive. The Hawaii Foodbank is very well known for their assistance amongst those who are at or below federal poverty level. However, they provide food to more than 123,000 homes within Hawai’i.
The IHS (Institute for Human Services) connects with our group’s project topic of hunger because it is a non profit organization that helps to feed people in need. The IHS has many jobs and opportunities to help people in the community from cooking meals to serving meals. The IHS is a good organization because it is free for those in need and can help them in many ways, and anyone can volunteer.
Facts & Statistics
- Meteorological drought is when there is a decrease in rainfall to a level that is scientifically considered a drought
- Time taken for a meteorological drought can form varies from a season, month, or day
- Hydrological drought can happen when a body of water like streams or rivers dry up and fall below a certain water level, meteorological drought can be a factor but it isn’t always the reason for hydrological
- Agricultural drought is when there is reduction in crop yield. (the measurement of grain or seeds provided from a unit of land generally measured by kilograms per hectare) can be caused by meteorological and hydrological but also insufficient amounts of fertilizer
- Famine is the unavailability of food due to any of these types of drought
- Famine can follow a drought but it isn’t always a ‘cause and effect’ relationship
IHS: Ending The Cycle of Homelessness
(Institue for Human Services)
History of IHS
In the Golden year of 1978 Father Claude DuTeil started to take notice of the homeless around him. He went about with PB&J sandwiches as well as coffee in hand and began striking up conversations. He felt the need within these people as he had his own needs, he was battling alcoholism and depression. With many helping hands such as community organizations and the government DuTeil opened his first center. This center was about 7 days a week and on average saw sixty people per day. However it wasn’t until 1982 was IHS considered a ‘private non-profit agency’. In 1986, with a foundation from the city and federal funding the 350 Sumner St. shelter was built. An average of 250-300 men, women, and families came through that shelter. As IHS worked hard to aid those in need many other businesses and restaurants gave a hand as well. These businesses took turns cooking 3,600 - 4,800 meals per week. Through 1990 - 2005 IHS saw five executive directors continue to contribute and help those in need. In 2007, IHS begins expanding their services and not only offer shelter and meals but also case management and health and wellness centers. In addition, in 2012, IHS expands their reach to the North Shore in Waialua Community Service Center in Haleiwa. 2012 - 2015 IHS opens new shelters open including a specialty shelter the V.E.T. House in Kalihi Valley as well as homeless outreach in Waikiki and Moiliili. In their most recent update in 2016, IHS teamed up with Queen’s Medical Center & Castle Medical Center to have a shelter that will house homeless that need medical attention but have been discharged from the hospital.

IHS Services
IHS Hawaii (Institute for Human Services Hawaii) vision is "a community where homeless people are empowered with hope, dignity, and confidence to quickly access and sustain a safe, decent and affordable home". IHS Hawaii is a non-profit organization tailored to the homeless population, or those in need of assistance, of Hawaii willing to work hard to gain a better life. It is important for our community because homelessness is a big issue in Hawaii and it stems for so many things like poverty, lack of land, drugs, etc… and it leads to hunger, sickness, and many more things so we must fix this issue. Some services that IHS provides is they have meal programs, financial assistance, workshops, children programs, health services, counselors, etc…

United Nations
History of UN
The United Nations, an international organization founded in 1945 just after WWII, has four main purposes that keep it going. First, Keep global peace. They are most commonly known for their continued conflict prevention and peacekeeping however there are many other ways UN affects our daily lives and those who need it. United Nations partake in multiple activities such as sustainable development, environmental and refugee protection, disaster relief, counterterrorism, human rights, gender equality, and so much more. Secondly, maintaining friendly relations amongst the nations. In addition, cooperation through the nations to improve the lives of the less fortunate. UN’s goal is to conquer hunger, disease, and even illiteracy. They want to raise awareness and encourage respect for everyone equally. Lastly, “To be a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations” to achieve their common goals. The UN is fairly widespread and has touched “every corner of the globe”. They are able to take actions against any issue that arises and hold conferences for their 193 member state.
UN Development Goals
The UN Development goal that we are basing our project off of is Zero Hunger. Some similar related goals to this that the UN seeks to support is Good Health and Well-Being, and Responsible Production and Consumption.
Global Problem: Many places
Another country in the world where this issue and goal is being addressed is South Africa. South Africa is in need of help with hunger and poverty. The United Nations goal is to help the whole world, so with this they will have a big impact on South Africa. South Africa suffers with hunger and poverty everyday but with the help of the United Nations, they can become a thriving country and a thriving people.
Goal of This Project
Our goal is a group was to stop world hunger. Our goal is this because we realized how much world hunger is problem, and how much people suffer from it. We found out that many people die from world hunger, and starvation and just poverty in general. This Goal connects to our group's project because it helps us to try our best to help those in need and those who are suffering from poverty, and hunger. We think if we can do our best to complete our goal, and play our part, then we have done our best to try and stop the problem of hunger for those people who may need it.

Globalization, Colonization, Imperialism
What is colonization, globalization, and imperialism?
- Colonization is is an action or process of settling or establishing control over the indigenous people of an area.
- Imperialization is the policy of power through military force.
- Globalization: the process by which businesses or other organizations develop international influence or start operating on an international scale.
Within Hawai'i
We chose the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom because it is a big event in history that has messed us up. With the illegal overthrow came the higher cost of living, less land, and less access to the nourishment the ʻāina and kai provide for us. With the haole came the loss of our fishponds, loss of our bloodline, we lost the unity and we used to have for the ʻāina and kai and it all started from the illegal overthrow.
In 1893, our sovereign nation was overthrown which lead to complete and utter control from the Westerns. With the Westerns in control, they began to morph Hawai’i as they pleased. In 1898, our language just like our culture was stripped away. It was no longer legal to speak our own mother tongue in public, in school, or even in the privacy of our own homes. We believe this contributed to our challenge we continue to battle because it was a part of the colonization plan. They turned us away from what we knew and made us ‘civilized’. With the loss of language, we also lost ourselves.
We chose when Hawaii officially became a state in the United States because that is the U.S. saying “we own you now.” We chose this event because it has a big impact on us. We are under the control of the United States and still to this day we see the effects of what has happened half a century ago. To this day we still have a loss of our language even though it is reviving. The big effects are the cost of living, the low wages, and these things add up to poverty, hunger, homelessness, etc…
In 1959, Hawai’i officially became apart of the United States of America. With ownership from the USA, came tourism. We, as Hawaiians know that the tourist industry is our biggest income, but that was never our choice. With tourism came the love for Hawai’i and more Westerns wanted to live in Paradise. In 1970, they exchanged their mainland homes for the ‘cheap’ price to live in eternal summer. However, with Westerners paying large amounts of cash, the price to live began to rise. Living in Hawai’i became more difficult. We struggled to sustain ourselves and now 49 years later we continue to struggle as the cost to survive in Hawai’i increases. Many of our own live out in the street begging for food or money because we lack the funds to survive. While the colonizers thrive in our homeland we slowly continue to fall apart as a nation.

History and Role of Colonization/Imperialism= Globalization in the Republic of Mali
Mali is located in West Africa and is a 3rd world non-European country. Hereʻs some precolonial history… In 1927, Human skeletons from 5000BCE were discovered. Gold deposits were found in West Africa, supporting the growth of political states and early economic life. Djenné-Jeno, a town in Mali, was a very important trading center for gold, ivory, and slaves. This trading post thrived and with the help of waterways such as the Niger River and Sénégal. With so many people moving through Mali to the sea to the West, through the vast rivers, and the caravan routes on its monotonous landscape, religions were shared. In 1581, the 4,000 man army of Moroccan crossed the Sahara and challenged Songhai. Although the Moroccan army was exhausted, they defeated Songhai with the use of muskets, something the Songhai didnʻt have. The hegemony of Songhai, a great nation, was no longer there, throwing everyone into chaos, including the trading routes. When the trading was reestablished, most of the trade wasnʻt directed towards Mali anymore but the the west coast where Europeans were trading. The French colonial expansion led to divides, fights, religion wars, and political wrestling for influence. In 1855, the french set up a fort in Médine (western Mali) to add an additional obstacle. French influence brought more foreigners and their ways with their beliefs. Of coarse, this would have an impact on the people of Mali, some can still be seen today.
Effects of Modern Warfare
The effects of Modern Warfare on our Kahiau issue actually have pretty big effects. Our Kahiau issue is hunger and homelessness. Modern Warfare has a negative impact on this because the military here take up 50% of our lands so the other half is left for the million + people living here so many of them are homeless. Also, Modern Warfare makes it so we have less agricultural land because the military use land to test their “toys” which is their weapons, bombs, guns, etc...
History
In 1989 of July Hawai’i was ‘annexed’. USA needed Hawai’i in order to keep a presence within the Pacific. Throughout the Spanish-American war supplies, resources, and reinforcements were needed but could only be brought from Hawai’i. From 1898 until 1941 the location of Hawai’i was continuously used for Military purposes. Military bases were built to house the multiple men and women charged to live on Hawai’i. In 1906 Schofield Barracks was built between Royal Kunia and Wahiwa.
Media
The media portrays the military as the good guys doing things to help the people that they serve. The media does not make them look bad or show the public what they did to other people that made their lives hard, they just showed what we did and left out the cons of what we did and do.
2 Events that Set-Up Military Presence in Hawaii
World War I and II (1914-1918) and (1939-1945): Pearl Harbor has got to be one of the most impactful attacks on Hawaii. This was the attack that brought the US into war. This was the attack that brought Hawaii’s use in the military to where it is today.
Spanish American War (April 21, 1898 – August 13, 1898): Around the same time as Hawaiiʻs annexation, the Spanish American War was being fought. America needed the naval dominance and expansion for military purposes. So with American eyes on Hawaii with the missionaries and sugar businessmen already wanting Hawaii for their own, it wasnʻt hard for them to realize that Hawaii could be used in their war.

Global Economic/Imperial Impacts
How does economic theories like Capitalism & Communism impact or cause global issues like poverty?
These theories impact poverty because people who don’t have as great jobs as people in capitalism, because they don’t get the same pay. It is also bad because the big corporations are making it harder for us to live on minimum wage, and they won't raise the minimum wage, so it leaves a lot of people to live in poverty. But on the other hand, communism is bad because some people could work less or harder and still get the same amount of pay as someone who doesn't do anything for someone who works forever. Communism also impacts poverty because there can't always be equality, sometimes there may not be enough for everyone to be together as a community.
GROUP DISCUSSION:
As a result of World Wars I & II, how did the Cold War period and a renewed focus on capitalism & corporate businesses perhaps contribute to set up your particular global issue?
The cold war period and the renewed focus on capitalism and big corporate businesses contributed to the setup of poverty, famine, and homelessness because once the bigger corporations came into play, they were taking up more land, more money, and them having more money raised the price of living for everyone. With the price of living going up, it made it harder to pay rent, buy food, etc… which can cause more stress on people and then this causes them to go to drugs sometimes and causes them to become homeless. The paranoia during the Cold War contributed to the capitalist mindset of providing for yourself. People were scared of a war and wanted to protect themselves before anything. To get the resources to protect yourself, you need money and connections. This fact leads people in capitalism for the money. With this renewal of this mindset, the people who are hungry, homeless, and poor are going to continue to sink into these issues because they donʻt have a way to rise up. When it comes to supply and demand if the demand becomes too great and the supply isn’t able to keep up the prices are more likely to shot even higher. Otherwise known as structural inflation.
Decolonization: Pros and Cons
- Positive: Independent nation: If we left the U.S. then we would be an independent nation. We would be like our ancestors were, independent and thriving. We could be any type of country we wanted, not what the U.S wants. We could have better leaders running our nation, make the votes fairer. Becoming an independent nation would be a positive thing because like India, they got their culture back when they became independent. If we leave the U.S. we can work on reviving our culture even more and not have to go through such big processes to make a Hawaiian immersion school. Also, there is the question of poverty, but if we became our own nation we could handle and change everything to make it like our kupuna, a fair system that works very well to keep the people thriving. You must contribute or you won't survive.
- Negative: Corruption of leaders. With great power comes great responsibilities and most people aren’t ready for that kind of power. For example, in Africa, after WWII Europe was forced to give independence to Africa while a place like Ghana was ready for decolonization other areas weren’t and therefore fell apart. Their rulers used power for gain rather than to help the people, Africans had become dependent on Europe and could no longer survive on their own, rivalries arose and the colonies no longer saw each other as equal, etc.
