Until Hurricane 'īniki, Keikilani Harada had always worked in her husband's restaurant in Hanalei. The hurricane destroyed her hus-

band's business so she eame to Alu Like looking for employment. She said she enjoyed working with people and wanted to help the loeal community recoup from 'Iniki. Ho'ōla Lāhui Hawai'i, the Kaua'i branch of the Native Hawaiian Health Care Program, Papa Ola Lōkahi, had been recruiting outreach workers at the time and, through a training program with Alu Like ine., Harada was placed there. Recently Harada completed her on-the-job training activity with Ho'ōla Lāhui Hawai'i and she remains there as an outreach worker. Although her family has not fully recovered from 'Iniki, Harada has been a help to many other members of the conimunity.
