We\u2019re here to create a safe place for the youth to come. So, if we can teach them anything we can about drunk driving, not drinking and driving, and how we can prevent anything in the future is a big step for us,\u201d said Kacy Schwed, Boys &amp; Girls Clubs of Maui Director of Operations.<\/p>\n<p>This is the 22nd mural organizers completed in Hawaii. <\/p>\n<p>They said they put in the most time into this one, at least 120 hours. They used approximately 30 gallons of paint.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hawaiimovinginsider.com\/?p=389\">Waikiki crash involving HPD officer caught on surveillance video<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey want to prevent already their friends and family from not drinking and driving and make a difference already in the community,\u201d Schwed said.<\/p>\n<p>Nishimura said the message is timely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCongratulations to the class of 2026. We wish you well,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re here doing our job to make sure that the roads are safe for you all. And for the community, please be aware, this is graduation season. We want every youth to have a long and happy life.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Parents who lost their children to underage impaired drivers came to speak to the youth while they were completing the project. <\/p>\n<p>Organizers said it was emotional and impactful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been able to talk to the youth about this matter, and they\u2019ve shared that some of them even had experienced crashes and deaths. So, to be able to talk a little further with them and to get insight, it was very, very heartfelt,\u201d Nishimura said.<\/p>\n<p>The next mural on Maui is slated for Samuel E.
