The following is an update of Kamalanimalie Manners recent success selling hand crafted products from her business "A Little Bit of Everything" at Windward Mall on Saturday, July 23, 2016. Kamalanimalie won the opportunity through Kids, Inc. to sell her products, which we are happy to report, sold out! Proceeds from her sales went towards supporting her brother Kekoaokalani's Stuffed With Aloha backpack program and friend Arahmae's pageant expenses.

Business was a success on Saturday, July 23 at Windward Mall. She had customers who bought things from her the first time she was there back in 2012 buy again. The things that she made for the first time like 2 calendars of photos she has taken of beaches around the island and refrigerator magnets sold out. Her popular items like her Konane Boards and decorated beach theme composition books also did well. Arahame, her mom Armida, and cousin ( I didn't get her name), Kekoaokalani, and Chrysta-Lynn came out to help her for a while. Then it was off to the Mango Jam at the Honolulu Hale for Kamalanimalie, Chrysta-Lynn, and Arahmae to perform on stage. It was a very busy day for Kamalanimalie.
I try my best to teach my children about spreading aloha by giving to those in need, Kekoaokalani's Stuffed With Aloha backpack distribution on Tuesday, July 26 was a success because of his sisters donation from what she earned at her Kids Inc. day at Windward Mall. The goal was to get 75 brand new backpacks and school supplies. I have a photo below of the brother/sister team this past Tuesday at Maililand Transitional Shelter as they prepare to pass out the school supplies. This was the first family to come and get their brand new backpacks and school supplies.
