Christmas Items

Our popular Christmas ornaments are currently available at the "Gifts From Paradise" retail store at 83 North King Street in downtown Honolulu.  Most of these are being sold at only $1.50 each!!   

New Banner

In the near future, the "Gifts From Paradise" website will soon have a new look.  Not only will we be updating the banner but also adding new popular products as well.  These will make great gifts for the upcoming holiday season. 

On another note, the Pacific Gateway Center is also having the "Grand Opening" of its Paradise Enterprise Center office this week.  Photos of this event should be available soon on the www.pacificgatewaycenter.org website.  Obviously we are very excited and happy to share these with you.

Background

Pacific Gateway Center Staff

Pacific Gateway Center's (PGC) mission is "to empower Hawaii's low-income residents, immigrants, and refugees to achieve self-sufficiency through skill-building and access to opportunities while respecting cultural heritages."  Many of our small business and economic development clients have minimal capabilities in marketing their products due to language limitations, cultural differences, limited access to capital, and various other issues.

The "Gifts From Paradise" website provides a great opportunity and powerful vehicle for our entrepreneurs to market their products by providing virtual shelf space.  Connecting these clients and their products to local, national, and international market communities via the internet is a significant step in the development of their businesses.

For more information about Pacific Gateway Center and its wide range of support services for immigrants, refugees, and low-income Hawaii residents, visit www.pacificgatewaycenter.org.

Aloha!

Just as the sun rises to begin a new day in Hawai`i, Pacific Gateway Center's e-commerce website, "Gifts From Paradise", will be officially rolling out soon.  This will include well known cultural creations from Hawai`i, Laos, Indonesia, Cambodia, Burma, and the Marshall Islands.  Popular items include Kona Coffee, Nut Brittle, Organic Honey Soaps, designer clothing, home decor, and various accessories.  We look forward to this new endeavor and hearing from you in the near future. 

Aloha!
