The Aloha Programme
ALOHA is a mental development programme designed specifically for children ages 5 to 13. The program uses the abacus as a key instrument for teaching Mental Arithmetic, enabling the development of the right hemisphere of the brain, a key instrument for the teaching of Mental Arithmetic. In this hemisphere resides the ability of visual memory, concentration and orientation, control of nonverbal aspects of communication, and intuition.
