The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) is focusing its humanitarian work in Ukraine on meeting the most critical urgent needs as the situation for children and families there continues to deteriorate. According to a recent statement by UNICEF USA, two million children have now been forced to flee Ukraine, as the war rages on. “The situation inside Ukraine is spiraling,” said UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell. “As the number of children fleeing their homes continues to climb, we must remember that every single one of them needs protection, education, safety and support.”
Parking: Parking will be a $5 minimum donation per car at the gate. Due to limited parking at the farm, carpooling is encouraged. A complimentary cut sunflower bloom will be given with each parking donation. Vehicles must enter the farm through the main gate located on Honoapiilani Highway just north of the Kuihelani Highway intersection (look for the yellow gate near the silver farm silos). As a reminder, the State has posted no parking signs on both highways along the perimeter of the farm. Gate opens at 8:15AM.
At The Event: Seating under the event tent will be provided. To minimize waste, please bring your water bottle to refill at water stations on site. No alcohol or coolers. Visitors to the farm are encouraged to wear comfortable, closed-toed shoes. Please use caution while walking on site; this is a private, working farm with uneven ground and rocks. Wearing hats and reef-safe sunscreen is also recommended at the farm site, which can be hot and windy.
