Two years ago, a group of Waimanalo residents had an idea of a community that worked together to solve its problems. And so this small group of residents formed the Waimanalo Community Development Corporation.
Community development is the recognition of our strengths and power, of our own abilities.
Community developent is about individuals personally taking responsibility to improve their skills, or learn new ones, and work together to solve the problems of the community. To work togther members of the community need a way to commuicate with each other. To inform and inspire The Waimanalo News was started to provide the community with information of the issues that affect the community, so that the community can meet, make decisions, and respond appropriately. It keeps residents abreast of activities at the schools, the district park, the library,the environment, health issues, and about people who are doing interesting things for the community. All of the writers volunteer their time and energy.
