I kēlā me kēia manawa o ka pōʻai pāʻoihana, hāʻawi kahi hōʻikeʻike e like me IMEX i kahi kiʻi koke o ke olakino o kahi mākeke honua. Pēlā nō, ʻaʻole i loaʻa ka nui o nā hui ʻenehana hanana hanana a me nā huahana ma ka hōʻike i ka wā i hoʻomaka ai mākou.

A ʻoi aku ka nui o nā ʻoihana ʻoihana hālāwai kūloko a i ʻole nā hoahoa i hoʻomaka i kēlā hoʻoikaika hui.

Ma nā ʻano he nui, ʻo ka piʻi ʻana o ka pūnaewele a me nā ʻenehana kelepona i hoʻāla i ka mahalo hou i ka mea e hana ai mākou i ke kanaka. ʻO nā hālāwai a me nā hanana ka hōʻike hope loa o ka makemake kanaka no ka ʻike like; ka mea i aʻa i loko o kahi ʻano ʻokoʻa hoʻokahi – ʻākoakoa pū ma kahi hoʻokahi i ka manawa hoʻokahi.
