The Haseko Training Fund today announced it has awarded James Campbell High School's Agricultural Learning Center a grant of  $15,000.  The center previously received a grant in 2004 to launch an aquaculture program, and financial assistance from Haseko to purchase a hydroponics system.

"James Campbell High School's Agricultural Learning Center is an excellent training ground for students who wish to pursue careers in the industry," said Sharene Saito Tam, assistant vice president of Haseko.  "Under the guidance of Derek Chow, students gain hands-on experience that helps prepare them for the future and even build businesses of their own."

The Haseko Training Fund program provides grants for job training programs, as well as vocational education scholarships for ‘Ewa Beach residents.  Hawai‘i Community Foundation administers the fund.  For more information on the fund or to apply, please visit www.hawaiicommunityfoundation.org or call 566-5550.

As a developer of residential, commercial and resort properties in Hawai‘i since 1973, Haseko has built a solid reputation for high-quality projects and an incredible commitment to the community.  Among its most prized hotel, commercial and residential projects are the award-winning master-planned communities of Ocean Pointe and Hoakalei Resort - both in ‘Ewa Beach, Kaua‘i Beach Villas and Kaua‘i Hilton Hotel, The Courtyards at Punahou and Ocean View Center. Over the years, Haseko's commitment to being a good neighbor has resulted in an active community stewardship program that provides millions of dollars of infrastructure improvements for ‘Ewa Beach, additional park lands, investment in area schools, and financial support for community organizations such as the ‘Ewa Beach Community Trust Fund, the Haseko Training Fund and Hoakalei Cultural Foundation.  For more information, visit the company's website at www.haseko.com.
