On Monday January the 18th, all three UHManoa "undergraduate fellows" decided to team up with a local non profit community organization called Grassroots Education Project. The group encouraged volunteers to arrive at the school on the holiday to participate in projects sanctioned by the school principal to improve the schools capacity to provide for and educate its young students. Some of the projects that were available and organized for that day were: organizing and properly cataloging the books in the library to ensure that they were marked appropriately for its level of difficulty, cleaning and redecorating the Teacher's Lounge, performing routine maintenance on the some of the classroom furniture and making sure that the resources the school had were appropriately distributed across its classrooms, and finally routine maintenance on the schools Macintosh computers.
Frank was involved in servicing the late model Macintosh computers that the majority of the students use for their education. The computers were often overburdened by simple programing malfunctions that could easily be resolved by the volunteers other computers had more formidable disorders and simply needed to have a master catalog created to centrally record which problems were found which computers.
Christy and Mari spent the morning cleaning and redecorating the Teacher's Lounge, which was in disarray, and later helped a Kindergarten teacher sort through and organize her paperwork.
