[MUSIC/BENEFIT] Gandhi said, "Be the change in the world you want to see." And Jesse, a 20-year-old waitress at Life's A Beach is doing just that. Jesse has received a grant from the Hawaiian branch of the AIDS Foundation to teach Liberian refugees displaced in Ghana, about AIDS awareness. Jesse will be returning to Ghana for the second time to help educate and comfort the people. The "Be the Change" Fundraiser will raise extra money in order to improve the refugees' learning of written English before their return to their homeland. Prizes, gift certificates, and services donated from different Maui businesses will be raffled off and tickets can be purchased for $5, or 3 for $10. Bring down a Teddy Bear to donate, which will be handed out by Jesse to the Liberian children during the holiday season. The Erin Smith Band and other musical guests will be providing the entertainment for the night. T-shirts will be available and all donations will be much appreciated. Be the change and help fund the change to better the lives of these refugees of war. [GABRIELLE POCCIA]
