COOKBOOK DEDICATION


With each decade, the Hawaii State Parent, Teacher, Student Association has never lost sight of its transcendent goal; to change the lives of children across the state for the better.  Better because of free libraries and textbooks, cafeterias and hot lunches, kindergartens, improved curriculum, safer schools, improved children's health standards and greater parental involvement.  There has always been a concern for the whole child and the rights of that child.

We dedicate this book to all those who have come before us and those of today that have contributed tireless volunteer hours to improve the lives of children.  It is their human touch that lives on in our children's soul. (Recipes from our Hearts and Hands, 2002)
