David Ige, Man Of Peace
Hawaii’s governor welcomes representatives of聽Let鈥檚 All Connect, a movement聽of “human connectivity” to聽promote peace and unity.
Our聽state’s top leader gave聽his support Thursday to two young men who聽want to make the world a better place.
Andrew Tisba and Manuel Frederick of聽聽say they are on a journey to visit all 50 states.
Why?
It’s a聽movement of “human connectivity” to聽promote peace and unity.
“We travelled 4772 miles all the way from #WashingtonDC with the hood of the #letsALLconnect Peace car,” says the . “During our stop in #Florida the citizens of #Orlando transformed the car into a driving memorial honoring the 49 victims of the #Pulse shooting. We want to ask President Obama and Michelle Obama to leave their inspiring mark on the hood, as a message of #Hope and #Unity.”
Gov. David Ige’s聽communications staff said Tisba and Frederick were welcomed into the fifth floor offices at the Capitol. Chief of Staff聽Mike McCartney and Attorney General Doug Chin happened to be on hand.
A key element to connecting is done palm to palm. Hence the photos here.聽The duo, who have European and Caribbean roots, are also聽actually carrying the hood of the car with them.
By odd coincidence, Tisba and Frederick actually met President Obama this week when he was golfing in Kapolei. But rather than hit him with the Let’s All Connect pitch then, they are working聽with others to reach out formally.
“We didn’t want to interrupt his vacation,” said Tisba.
The聽trip is paid for by families and friends, and Let’s All Connect聽has nonprofits in Paris and Los Angeles.
