Safety coordinator to speak at Nov. 13 service

Mike Hirano, home safety and fall prevention coordinator with Hawaii State Project Dana, will be the featured speaker at the Nov. 13 service at Wailuku Hongwanji Buddhist Temple beginning at 9 a.m.

After the service, Hirano will be available to talk story and answer questions.

Project Dana provides support services -- such as telephone visits, home visits, home safety assessments, transportation for medical appointments, grocery shopping and religious services -- for elderly and disabled people.

The principle of Dana is selfless giving of time and energy, providing compassion without the desire of recognition or reward. This is a faith-in-action program.
