Who was the benefactor?
Hau`oli Mau Loa Foundation was founded by Helga Glaesel-Hollenback who, in her words, “found great happiness on the islands of Hawai`i” and wished “to return the generosity of the islands.” Originally from Germany, she moved to the United States and established a home in Honolulu. Helga was actively involved in Hau`oli Mau Loa Foundation until her passing in 1997.
