He naʻau i kapa ʻia ʻo "Pepe"

I kuʻu wā kamaliʻi ua komo wau i kahi pālule aʻu i hāʻawi ai no ka International Children's Day, me ka ʻike ʻole, ʻaʻole nō hoʻi ke kūlanakauhale kahi o kāna mau wahi pīkaʻi. He mau makahiki ma hope mai ua lilo wau i mea kūʻai aku i kahi kihi liʻiliʻi i mua o La Merced Park ma Tegucigalpa, kahi e hele ai wau e peʻe i ka Pōʻaono e ulana ma waena o nā hana maʻamau a me kaʻu mau hana ma ka hopena pule. ʻAʻole nani ka lewa, akā ua leʻaleʻa ka noho kaʻawale me ka ʻono like me nā chilaquile, ke kamaʻilio leʻaleʻa a kahi wahine ʻeleʻele i hele i ka waihona kālā a hāʻawi i kahi mea ʻono maikaʻi i ka grotesqueness o nā kāhuna pule i hele mai no kahi sop. E hoʻopau i kāna hangover e hoʻomaka i kahi ʻē aʻe.

Ke hoʻomanaʻo nei wau he puʻupuʻu ia i loko o kuʻu ʻāʻī, he mau makahiki ia o kaʻu kaha kiʻi no nā kiʻi aila i ka noho mehameha a me nā ʻōlelo i ke kuʻi o ka hāmau ma mua o ka hōʻea ʻana o ke kaikamahine, hoʻomālamalama ʻo ia i koʻu mau maka. Ua hauʻoli ka maluhia i kēlā mālie i hoʻohālikelike me ka pīhoihoi o nā kiʻi o nā mea kaulana i piha i nā paia i ka hōʻike o ke kipa ʻana i nā ʻoihana a kēia kanaka, kahi aliʻi hanohano Cuban nāna i lawe ʻo Fidel i kāna waiwai āpau akā ʻaʻole kāna mau moemoeā, āna i hele mai ai. hui i nā ʻāina ʻē e noho i ka mōʻaukala ma ke ʻano he synonym no ka meaʻai maikaʻi a me ka manawaleʻa.

I nā makahiki aʻu i e interject aloha a me kana wahine, ka mea ma ka pā ilina mai la i ka olelo aʻu i keʻano he verbatim aneane i ka ia ae, mai ke kaikamahine i ka pilina oi ma mua o ka hapalua o kona Aina.

ʻO nā kukui, nā kuki, ka nui o ka meaʻai a me ka nui o hulcaloo,ʻo ia ka hoʻomākaukauʻana i kahi lā o ke keiki.

ʻO ia, hopohopo, hoʻomākaukau hou i hoʻokahi makahiki hou e mālama i kahi hoʻolauleʻa i hala mua o kāna papahana.

Au, aole noonoo wale i kekahi i komo i loko o ia i kekahi kanaka e hiki mai ana i ka nui kanaka papahana, akā, ke Akua i loko o kona lokomaikai nui a me ke aloha koho, e malama aku i ka compassionate naʻau mea aʻu i aʻo Hawaiʻi mau loa, e like me ka hiki ana i ka poe nele, mai i no ka mea, ua nui akā, no ka mea, he mea pono no e piha ko makou mau uhane i ke aloha ma hana ana i na mea e ae. Wau he wahine aeia'ku lakou e lele i ku ma ka aoao o ka haipule ia, a ua kaʻana me ia i kaʻohana a me kā lākou mau lā hope o ke ola.

Kela a me keia mea i hana me Pepe, no ka mea, tireless i loko o kona hanohano i hana hooluolu mai iaʻu maopopo i ka hoʻoilina o ka aina i aloha ia hana, pono ka 'Oihana a me ka lanakila mahalo i ka naau o ka lāhui kanaka, kahi e hiki loaʻa ku okoa ma kela ano.

ʻAʻohe'ōlelo e hiki ke hōʻike i nā manaʻo e hoʻonāukiuki iaʻu i kēia manawa, kahi e hoʻokuʻu ai wau i kaʻu kāne no ka manawa pōkole, a ua hele aku i kahi lani ma kahi kokoke i ka hikiʻana mai o ka Mana Loa; akā, uaʻike au eʻike hou au iā ia i kekahi lā, i koʻu heleʻana e hālāwai me koʻu Mea nāna i hana.

Ke hoʻomaikaʻi neiʻoe, e ka Makua mau loa, no ka hāʻawiʻana mai i ka mana iaʻu i kēia hora a me kaʻikeʻana ua paʻa kāu'ōlelo iaʻu ...

"Ua kōkua mai ka Haku iā mākou a hiki i kēia manawa."
