Three weekly online ʻŌlelo<\/span> Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> classes have already received more than 31,000 combined views on Facebook.<\/p>\n

The Associated Students of the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span><\/a> (ASUH<\/abbr>) said it is encouraging news during this difficult time. The COVID-19 pandemic forced UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa\u2019s undergraduate student government to relocate the packed Campus Center Ballroom and Courtyard in-person classes to online Facebook Live sessions. Organizers said they are trying to continue educating the community as all UH<\/abbr> classes moved online for the remainder of the spring semester and first summer session.<\/p>\n

“Even when we transitioned online, there’s been a lot of support from everyone. I was sad when we had to cancel all in-person classes. However, we didn\u2019t want this pandemic to limit us. From the beginning of this class, we\u2019ve faced numerous challenges, but we\u2019ve always persevered,” said ASUH<\/abbr> Vice President Raiyan Rafid<\/strong>, who introduced the bill appropriating funds for the classes.<\/p>\n
