"Although Kauai people are resilient, the success of 'Aloha Kauai' will go a long way in their recovery," said Kurt Osaki, one of the event co-organizers. "My friends and family on the island, who were impacted by last month's torrential rains, are doing the best they can to move forward, but for many residents in various parts of Kauai, it is going to be a long road back to normal."
