On Saturday, October 24, 2009, more than 200 BYU–Hawaii students participated in a large-scale service project on the North Shore. The service was spearheaded by the BYU–Hawaii Student Association (BYUHSA) and the David O. McKay Center for Intercultural Understanding.
The activity was a way for BYU–Hawaii students to give back to the community. The "Spirit of Aloha," that these student participants emulated was more than just salutation. According to ldschurchnews.com, their "[s]pecific acts of service included weeding gardens, cleaning up yards, chopping down trees, picking up trash and painting. In addition to the cemetery and temple grounds, other sites for service included the beach, private homes in the community and a local elementary school."
