Dragon’s Eye Learning Center

DELC’s purpose is to provide educational experiences of cooperative and sustainable agricultural and economic systems.  To meet this purpose, the Center has since 2001 years offered local children and adults an assortment of environmental, fine arts, and tutoring programs at its rural site in Kapoho, Hawai’i.  DELC is currently focused on two programs:  the Kids of Koa’e 4-H Club and Hawaii Natural Farming & Aquaponics education.
