Maui Relief Efforts Hit Home For UH Student-Athletes

By Jason Kaneshiro

A somber homecoming took a group of Maui-raised University of Hawai'i student-athletes back to familiar surroundings but, in many respects, a different world.
 
Upon arriving at Nāpili Park, Karsyn Pupunu pointed out the diamond where he played his first baseball games as a kid growing up in West Maui.
 
Childhood memories melded with the current reality a few yards down the hill, where tents and storage containers now occupy a field that serves as a community driven distribution center offering supplies for residents displaced by the wildfires that raged through Lahaina on Aug. 8.
 
Now a wide receiver with the University of Hawai'i football team, Pupunu and five fellow Maui County products returned to the Valley Isle on Sept. 13 as part of a contingent of close to 50 UH student-athletes and staff members who made a day trip to contribute to relief efforts.
