Postcards from a Stranger is an interactive installation during Black & White Night presented by Kalani,
Hawaii’s largest retreat center, located on the Puna coast. Visit the Kalani “post office” at GCS, and write a friendly or inspirational note to a complete stranger. Your postcard will be delivered by our postal
workers, who will be roaming the streets of Hilo. It’s one more way to feel good during Black and White
Night — both giving and receiving!
