Hawaii National Guard Counterdrug Program

A person can choose between living the life of Aloha, or the life of Misery. The life of Aloha is filled with things like friendship, joy, strength and success. On the other hand, the life of Misery is filled with things like bitterness, anger, loneliness and recklessness.

The Aloha Card acts as a moral compass to remind people about choosing to life the life of Aloha or the life of Misery.

One side of the card is titled Aloha: The Aloha Spirit at Work! This side of the card has the positive attributes that are associated with the Aloha spirit.

The other side of the card is titled Misery: Where is the Aloha?

The Aloha Card was conceptualized by pastor Allen Cardines from Hope Chapel Nanakuli. The Lieutenant Governor Duke Aiona has already implemented the Aloha Card in many of his presentations around the state.

An article in the Honolulu Advertiser, titled Tapping into 'power' of aloha highlights how the Aloha Card has already been distributed by the thousands to several high schools and businesses around the state.

The Hawaii National Guard Counterdrug Program has been working alongside pastor Cardines in the Aloha Card campaign. To help distribute the Aloha Card, the Counterdrug Program has designed a card of their own.
