Below is a collection of posters, from the first 20 years of
Hawai'i International Forgiveness Day.
Set to the music of Michael Keale, "Aloha Is."

“Behold not with anger the sins of man, but forgive and cleanse.” --Queen Lili'uokalani Hawai'i Forgiveness Project: a non-profit community organization, celebrating forgiveness in all its forms part of a network of festivals in more than 80 countries

Hawai’i is a multicultural society whose people deeply respect
the values of the first people who first settled our islands, long ago.
A life of forgiveness is demonstrated clearly by traditional
Hawaiian culture, through the spirit of Aloha (welcome, love)
and the practice of Ho`oponopono (balance, understanding).

We support forgiveness in all its religious artistic,
personal, judicial, educational, social and political forms.
Hawai'i is an example for the world, both small in size
and large in significance, of what is true and possible.
