ʻŌpio Health
‘Ōpio and U`i (two stages of youth) are crucial in Hawaiian society for their fresh energy, vivacity, passion, and for the hope that they bring for the future. While youth is certainly not an easy time, it is a good time in which strength, skills and talent are discovered and developed, and foundations are laid for a lifetime of health.
