Piper, Esq., MBA Executive Director Robert Naniole Director of Community Services Derek Nishimura Director of Human Resources Corinne Murashige Director of Finance Michael Hane Director of Planning, Program Development and Communications Lynn Cabato Head Start Director Providing Opportunities and Inspiration Since 1965 HCAP Executive Management Team I am very pleased to present our annual report for the 2014-2015 Program Year. On January 8, 1964, in his message to Congress, President Lyndon Baines Johnson declared an unconditional War on Poverty in America. In August 1964, Congress passed the Economic Opportunity Act, creating a Federal Office of Economic Opportunity and giving birth to Community Action Agencies at the local level. In 1965, Honolulu Community Action Program, Inc. came into existence and was subsequently designated by local elected officials as the Community Action Agency for Oahu. In 2015 HCAP celebrates its 50th Anniversary, and we continue to provide a wide range of services to alleviate the conditions of poverty, assist in revitalizing low-income communities, and provide opportunities and inspiration to enable low-income individuals or families to achieve self-reliance. We are celebrating this milestone by remembering all of those who have made it possible for HCAP to continue to serve its mission. I would like to convey my sincerest thanks to past and present Members of the Hawaii Congressional Delegation, Legislative leaders, State and County executives, community partners, volunteers, supporters, HCAP Board of Directors, and most of all, to the thousands of dedicated HCAP employees who have contributed so much to the community over the past 50 years. As we celebrate and honor the past, we are also excited about all of the great programs and initiatives currently being offered at HCAP. We look forward to continuing HCAPs legacy of serving the low-income population and making the entire community a better place to live. Mahalo Piha, Robert N.E. Piper LEADERSHIP 4

The solar grill consisted of an upturned umbrella, which the kids lined with highly reflective tinfoil, creating a parabolic mirror similar to a satellite dish. Except, instead of concentrating radio waves, the dish acted to concentrate the suns light and heat to a single point. Students then placed foil-wrapped marshmallows and chocolate bars at the center of the heat laser. With a gooey hand, Shelly exclaimed, This is the best day of science ever! Alberta went to the HCAP Leeward District Service Center and applied for the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP). Albertas eligibility for the program en- abled her to receive a residential energy audit with home- specific energy conservation education. She also received new CFL bulbs, high-efficiency showerheads and faucet aerators, an Energy Star refrigerator, and a complete solar water heating system, all at no cost to her. In her first utility bill that she received after the weatherization services, she saw a reduction of over 40% in electricity costs from the prior month.

- 16. Celebrating 50 Years of Head Start O n May 18, 1965, in the White House Rose Garden, President Lyndon B. Johnson announced to the nation the creation of Project Head Start. In the 50 years since its humble beginning, Head Start has committed to giving children and their families the opportunity to succeed in school and in life. During the past fifty years, over 32 million lives have been transformed by Head Starts comprehensive approach to early learning by promoting school readiness for young children from low-income families. In joining the country to commemorate Head Starts 50th anniversary, HCAP Head Start celebrated by hosting a Family Fair on Tuesday, May 19, 2015 at the Neal S. Blaisdell Arena for Head Start children and their families, staff, alumni, and invited guests. The 2-hour fun-filled event consisted of interactive hands on activities relating to Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) initiated by our very own HCAP Head Start Teaching Staff and Family Advocates. During the month of April 2015, HCAP Head Start invited Oahus Legislators to visit Head Start classrooms and participate in a National Head Start Association event called, Every Word Counts: Head Start and Legislators Read Together. Legislators were invited to read a book to a Head Start classroom in their district. In front of nearly 1,300 attendees, Senator Michelle Kidani and HCAP Board Chair, Representative Isaac Choy presented proclamations commemorating the 50th anniversary.
