COVID-19 vs. Volcanic Eruption

 In 2020 the unexpected outburst of COVID-19 threats many lives including the Tongan community of Hawaii. Subsequently, in 2021 the Tongan community of Hawaii and around the globe mourned over the destruction caused by the volcanic eruption of the Hunga-Tonga and Hunga-Ha’apai to the Kingdom’s vegetation, islands, and its people. 


Both incidents could have destroyed the culture, arts, education, and philosophies treasured by the Tongan people completely. Such incidents insinuate the need to have a cultural center where everyone comes to learn, engage, preserve, and perpetuate authentic cultures, arts, and sports, which are easily shared with others.
