    Operation Recovery Maui is a dynamic response to bolster Maui's economy, assuring tourists, visitors, and convention attendees that the island remains a vibrant hub of culture, activities, and lifestyle. Drawing inspiration from the transformative success of Operation Recovery Malibu post-Woolsey Fire, this initiative champions the essence of 'Aloha' and global solidarity. Our scope transcends immediate recovery: we aim to establish local schools and design remote training programs for families grappling with the aftermath of personal and business adversities. By harnessing cutting-edge technologies such as AI, video production, social media, and entrepreneurial strategies, Operation Recovery Maui positions the island as a beacon of innovation for the world. This holistic blueprint seeks to fortify the community's foundation, ensuring Maui residents continue to cherish their homes for generations to come. We’re grateful to Gene Frederick for helping us make Operation Recovery Maui a reality.
