Training for Ironman ʻohana to learn the heart of the land, people, and culture

​

Mission statement:   

To provide Hawaiian Cultural Enrichment programs for VinFast IRONMAN World Championship 'Ohana and Athletes to gain skills in Hawaiian community service through mālama ʻāina (care for the island) activities, Hawaiian cultural education, and healthy relationship with locals on the island.   

 

This program is a three-fold initiative that connects VinFast IRONMAN World Championship ʻOhana and Athletes with Native Hawaiian Cultural Education, equipping our visitors to:

​

• Honor the host culture and engage with native community organizations

• Train VinFast IRONMAN World Championship ʻOhana and Athletes in mālama ʻāina (care for the land) as they benefit from VinFast IRONMAN World Championship partnerships who share the value and beauty of the land of Hawaiʻi and it's people

• Be a part of participating in a commitment to the environmental quality of Hawaiʻi residents, as well as the commitment to the quality of the VinFast IRONMAN World Championship ʻohana experience on Hawaiʻi Island

 

This initiative will provide VinFast IRONMAN World Championship ʻohana with a holistic approach to Hawai'i cultural community training that help strengthens relationships with local residents & the visitor industry. This enrichment program supports cultural natural resources such as conservation and revitalization of Hawaiʻi core reef systems (ʻāpapapa), by advocating for “reef-safe sunscreen” and cultural education on sacred sites such as Ahuʻena Heiau.
