More than 50 volunteers removed an estimated one-third of the tons of debris that had constituted a wall of trash along Kea'au Beach Park since Feb. 13. About half of the crew was made up of eighth-graders from Mililani Middle School. The effort was organized by the Wai'anae Community Outreach homeless service agency and co-planned with the Partners in Development Foundation's Ka Pa'alana Homeless Family Literacy Program. Joining the Mililani Middle School students were more than two dozen volunteers from Wai'anae Community Outreach, Partners in Development, nurses from Hawai'i Pacific University and 10 homeless park and bush dwellers.
