On Sunday, September 7, twelve children took part in a hands-on hair and makeup workshop at Sayumi Bridal, located in the Waikiki Shopping Plaza. Inside the boutique, rows of beautiful white wedding gowns lined the walls, with three bright red chairs facing large mirrors and tables filled with professional tools. Just stepping into the salon created a sense of excitement.

9月7日（日）、ワイキキショッピングプラザにある「Sayumi BridaI」で、こども12人がヘアメイクのお仕事体験をしました。真っ白なウェディングドレスがたくさん並んでいる店内には、真っ赤な椅子が三つ。花嫁がヘアスタイルとメイクアップをしてもらう椅子とその前にある大きな鏡、そして、プロが使う道がずらり。見ただけでテンションが上がる光景です。今日は将来ヘアスタイルやメイクアップの仕事につきたいこどもが何人もいて、「やる気」スイッチ全開のスタートとなり、発言も質問も多く、元気、そして笑顔いっぱいの２時間となりました。

On Sunday, August 17, twenty-four children took part in a restaurant job experience workshop at the popular izakaya-style restaurant Kaimuki Shokudo.

8月17日（日）、カイムキにある大人気の居酒屋レストラン「カイムキ食堂」で、こども24人がレストランでのお仕事体験をしました。レストランのお仕事は、たくさんありますが、今回のワークショップでは、「注文をとる」「料理を作る」の２つを体験しました。

On Sunday, August 10th, we hosted our very first Keiki Market — Hawai‘i’s kids-only flea market, where children took charge as both sellers and buyers.
A total of 15 sellers and 35 buyers participated, ranging from 4 to 11 years old, creating a lively and multicultural marketplace full of learning, creativity, and fun.

This unique event allowed children not only to sell and shop on their own, but also to learn about money management, practice math skills, and experience real-world transactions — all in a safe, supportive environment.

On Sunday, August 3rd, we hosted our very first MIRAI HANA workshop: Junior Radio DJ Experience, featuring special guest Reiko Rogers — founder of Studio Rim Hawaii and a seasoned radio personality.

The workshop took place at Studio Rim Hawaii, a live radio station beautifully located on the 3rd floor of the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa, right in front of the hotel pool. Reiko-san, who came to Hawaii in 2000, has built this studio as a hub for cross-cultural media, and on this day, it became a stage for 10 kids (ages 6–13) to become radio DJs for the first time.
