| What's
it like to grow up in the Hawaiian islands? Much is the
same as any place else, but some is quite different. Best
to let our keiki (children, kids) tell you themselves,
right? Some quotes from around the Web are listed on the
right below the link to the directory of school Web sites.
Below are some of the entries to ThinkQuest Web site competitions
from Hawai'i students that will provide a good picture of life
in the islands, past, present and future, from kid perspective.
We think the future's in good hands!
