Twenty members of the Hawaii Deafblind community, from high school students to grandparents, stand together. Haben is wearing two leis gifted to her by the kupuna, the elders. One has smooth kukui nuts, the other has orchids, carnations, and tuberoses that smell AMAZING! Mylo, Haben’s Seeing Eye dog, is stretched out on the floor in front of Haben
