Each fall SOS helps facilitate a blessing and release of 'a'o / Newell's Shearwaters. Prior to the event, Kaua'i Endangered Seabird Recovery Project (KESRP) staff visit 4th Grade classrooms to teach them about 'a'o and Fallout Season. These students are then able to see the birds up close as they attend the event. Led by Kumu Sabra Kauka, the students offer a pule / prayer before the birds, which have received care at SOS, are released!
