Meet Blue Zones Project Champion, Jae-Hee

Meet Punahou School senior, Jae-Hee! As part of her Girl Scout Gold Award project, Jae-Hee led the initiatives towards Punahou becoming a Blue Zones Project Approved school. Punahou School has previously achieved Blue Zones Project Approved worksite status.

Jae-Hee

"Getting to work on the Punahou Blue Zones Project approval has opened my perspective to what wellness truly means. As a part of my Girl Scout Gold Award, I took on the project of [helping] my school [become] a Blue Zones Project Approved school. It was a great project to work on because of the community connections I established, as well as the initiative that have been executed as a result of the [approval]. For me personally, I felt that I accomplished my goal of improving student wellness through each point of validation I found. Being that I am a senior, the Blue Zones Project was a great way to solidify my last year at Punahou School, and give back to a community that has given me so much. I am very grateful for all of the people that have helped me to complete this project, and I hope this is an initial start to raising awareness about wellness and healthier lifestyles."
