Part 1:
The Star Advertiser has a section on their website for school teachers to request donations to help pay for items needed in their classrooms. This seems like a good way to get necessary items into our local schools, items that they might otherwise not be able to afford due to budget cuts or restraints. Here's the link for Pahoa schools:

Part 2:
One of the requests on the website was for rubber slippers, and in the listing the teacher wrote:
"Over 93% of Pahoa Elementary School students come from a household receiving public assistance and therefore, the rubber slipper is their only foot covering."
Does anyone know whether this number is accurate? Can 93% of Pahoa Elementary students really receive some kind of government assistance?
