Editor’s Note<\/strong>: April 15, 2020\u2014Department of Molecular Biosciences and Bioengineering Professor Samir Khanal donated 1,000 face masks to the cause after reaching out to his friends and colleagues in Hong Kong, mainland China, and Macao.<\/p>\n

The University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources<\/a> (CTAHR<\/abbr>) has put out a call for volunteers to sew face masks to meet the demand needed by the UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa facilities department. <\/p>\n

Unable to order masks in the quantity they need, UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa facilities is asking for donations of masks for its 300 employees, all of whom are still at work on campus keeping the buildings and grounds safe, sanitary and operational. <\/p>\n

\"fabric

To help the cause, CTAHR<\/abbr> alumna Sylvia Kop<\/strong> and husband Mark, owners of Hula Supply Center, donated more than 500 yards of fabric. All that is needed are volunteers to sew. At least one mask for each facilities employee would be great, but two each would be better, so they can be laundered between wearings—a total of 600 masks.<\/p>\n

Several patterns will work. This pattern<\/a> (scroll down to download the pattern and watch an instructional video) has been endorsed by St. Luke\u2019s Hospital, which services the greater St. Louis, Missouri area.<\/p>\n

Contact CTAHR<\/abbr> alumni connection coordinator Jessie Radovich<\/strong> at radovije@hawaii.edu<\/a> to volunteer, donate material or coordinate the pick up of completed masks.<\/p>\n
