Special thanks to Matt and Shawneen Schweitzer for having provided the Chicama Special Education School with an initial donation. We are also grateful to their son Zane Schweitzer and his friend Conner Baxter for the Aloha they shared with the kids of Chicama and for the many t-shirts and caps that they gave to all the kids. You guys will not be long forgotten and you are welcome back always! Muchas Gracias!

Very special thanks to Ekolu Kalama and his wife Honora, together we discovered that our histories and cultures share more in common than we thought, together we are certain to make that positive change that so many are depending on.
