In front of each student was a frond from a coconut tree. Find out what's happening in Honolulu with free, real-time updates from Patch. Let's go! The middle schoolers watched as Jendrick Paul, founder and executive director of the Marshallese Community Organization of Hawaii, demonstrated how to create a basket out of the thick leaves. The basket, known as "enra," is a traditional vessel used to carry and transport food in the Marshall Islands. It's formed by fusing together two similarly woven plates, which these students had learned how to make in a previous class.
