One of Molokai's most unique and touching experiences is hiking or mule riding the Kaluapapa cliff trail and experiencing the tour of Kalaupapa Historic National Park. "Few places in the world better illustrate the human capacity for endurance or for charity than the remote Kalaupapa Peninsula on the island of Moloka’i. The area achieved notoriety in 1865 when the Kingdom of Hawai`i instituted a century-long policy of forced segregation of persons afflicted with Hansen's disease, also known as leprosy." Visiting the site and learning to stories of those confined, understanding the comittment and contributions of Father Damian, Joseph Dutton and so many others who dedicated thier lives to helping and serving the afflicted touches your heart and soul. |
