Keiki Ki’i Club
The Keiki Ki’i Club was created to introduce children in Kau to photography (ki’i means picture in Hawaiian). A total of 20 keiki ages 4-12 took part in the six-week pilot project. The club loosely followed a Literacy Through Photography model, which encourages kids to use photography to discover more about themselves and their community and then write about their images.
For many club members, it was their first time using a digital camera. The young photographers acquired visual skills and had fun; the club also provided an after-school activity for keiki in such a rural area. The club’s group show will be on display on the lanai at the Naalehu Public Library through the month of February.
