[Music]
hey
let me ask you a question how long is
your name
see most names are actually not that
long sarah
mark and josh but
but i have just arrived to a place where
people's names
are extremely long like
this name
this is hawaii one of the most unique
us states where people have names in the
hawaiian language
that are so long they can barely fit on
an id
card because here
names have meanings so this name
kaneonohoko nalani actually means
heavenly man of the stars
hawaiian names are not just words they
can also be
a sentence a poem thought or a
feeling come visit the state of hawaii
because here
the people actually live up to their
name
that's one minute
[Music]
hi there this shirt is why hawaiian
clothes
are the best see in many countries
around the world
people judge you based on what you wear
if you dress a little bit different a
little bit off
then you're weird but not here
in hawaii in this island you can look
as colorful as you possibly want and no
one will judge you
instead they will love you and put
even more colors on you because even
that boring business suit in hawaii
looks like flowers
so many people including me
could learn a thing or two from these
guys
that life is not black or white so your
clothing
doesn't have to be either
here you can wear whatever you
want
[Music]
homelessness poverty drugs
so many people say be careful of the
homeless
but what i'm about to show you will
change your mind
just like it changed mine see
i have just arrived to an entire village
with no houses because everyone here
is homeless
[Music]
now many people will stop watching this
video
because we have a stereotype against
homeless people most likely they do
drugs
they steal and most likely they are
dangerous we think they are homeless
and hopeless but this village
is not in this village 200 homeless
people got together
and made their own village with their
own rules
that will surprise you here you can't
make noise after 8 pm
you can't steal you can't do drugs you
can't even
unleash your dog and if you do
any of the above you are out
we have strict rules here and zero
tolerance policy
so this homeless village has become a
place that's safe
for everybody tourists and locals alike
it is also a place where a community
lives
they built a park for kids to play at
a gym to work out at a small
zoo a plantation farm
and a small made-up beach
every sunday people have to clean this
whole place
up and every month they
have to spend eight hours volunteering
per adult they celebrate
christmas and they teach each other sign
language why because
this village has one deaf kid and they
wanted him
to feel included
all of this is in a city full of
homeless people
this life is the choice of nobody hawaii
where they live is beautiful but it's
also one of the most expensive
u.s states with the highest rates of
homelessness
just ask their leader aloha i'm the
leader here in the village
even if we are houseless 60 of us do
have jobs
they just don't have enough to have a
house
i don't choose to live like this
but this is all my money can afford and
even if people
live in tents this village is safe they
have
rules they are inclusive and they are
appreciative of what they have
no matter how much they don't have
you could be in worse places than where
you are right now
just be thankful for you stay and make
it work
yes and so sorry a little bit emotional
i'm sorry
luckily this story has a happy ending
the village is so respected that
donations of money and food have come
from all around the state
and support for them has been tremendous
so much that in the next few years they
will purchase their own land
and live in their own home we're halfway
there
[Music]
this village wanted me to tell you that
even if they don't have money they are
not homeless
or hopeless or lawless they are just
houseless love you guys
love you too nice but maybe not
for long
[Music]
the guy you see next to me doesn't need
to use google
here is why hey i am cap
i can do everything only using my body
body body part with his body cap can do
wonders he can start a fire with his
hands and put off a fire
with his feet
he can find a coconut tree with his legs
toss a coconut with his mouth open it
with his
muscles and milk it with his hands
[Applause]
100 organic and his tattoos
i did by myself this 52 year old is
super fit
and young because he only eats vegan
food
but sometimes you gotta eat fish cap
grew up in the small country of samoa
and in samoa we learn how to survive
from our ancestors
at a time where everything we know we
get from the internet
it is refreshing to see people who can
survive
without it that's one minute we'll see
you tomorrow
[Music]
this video is about the life of a
teacher
like mr t hi i'm mr t
and this is my life mr t
is a history teacher who is paid to
teach kids history
no more no less but mr t loves to put
effort so he spent his own money on
pianos
supplies ukuleles to teach his kids
music remember
he does all of this as an extra music
allows the soul to breathe
in any other job more work equals more
pay
but mr t like many teacher doesn't do it
for the money
this job you can't do just for the money
he comes in early
leaves late and is exhausted by the end
of the day
every day
so many teachers go the extra mile they
put the extra effort
extra time extra love to raise future
generations
for little money and little recognition
today we celebrate the mr t's of the
[Music]
world
hi yesterday my father called me and
said
you're lucky you're going to hawaii i
said why
then he replied because in hawaii there
are no
snakes no snakes snakes
snakes snakes turns out my dad is right
the hawaiian islands are so remote from
the rest of the world
that here there are no animals to be
scared of
no snakes no tigers no hyenas no lions
no crocodiles not here
here or anywhere in the entire state of
hawaii
the only thing to worry about are tiny
bugs pigs your neighbor's dog and a few
sharks
[Music]

on this
beautiful island in the middle of the
ocean
