Ke ʻike nei ʻoe i kekahi manawa he palalulu nā leka i ka wā e heluhelu ana i kahi puke a nūpepa paha? A i ʻole he paʻakikī ke heluhelu maopopo i kahi mea e like me ka inoa ma luna o kahi papa a i ʻole kahi helu kaʻa ma kahi mamao iki? Malia paha ua ʻeha mau kou mau maka, ʻulaʻula, a luhi paha? I nā manawa e like me kēia, huikau iki mākou i ka mea e noi ai i ke kōkua a me kahi e hele ai. ʻO ia ke kumu e kamaʻilio nei mākou e pili ana i kēia kumuhana koʻikoʻi i kēia lā e ʻike ai i ka pane i kēlā nīnau.

ʻO nā kauka, e like me kā mākou ʻike maʻamau iā lākou, he kekelē lapaʻau (MD).

He aha nā lawelawe e hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa mai kahi kauka maka?
ʻO ka hana nui a ke kauka maka, ʻo ia ke nānā i kou mau maka no ke olakino a me ka ʻike. Hiki iā lākou ke ʻike a mālama i nā maʻi maka a me nā pilikia ʻike.
