Project Dana is an interfaith-based volunteer program in Honolulu, HI, dedicated to providing assistance to the elderly in their homes. Founded by Shimeji Ryusaki Kanazawa, also known as Auntie Shim, the program has been serving the community for over 60 years, offering care and support to the elderly population.
Auntie Shim, a Kamuela native with a compassionate heart, was deeply committed to helping others, even during challenging times like World War II. She played a crucial role as the chief liaison between the Japanese community and the military government, using her own resources to aid families affected by internment. Her legacy lives on through Project Dana, which continues to make a positive impact on the lives of the elderly in Hawaii.
