How did you spend your Saturday?
Infinite Ways Network had a busy Saturday, today.
We started out day out at the Carol City Elementary Holiday Health Fair. The CCE Health Fair was a lot of fun and very informative. Organized by CCE's Coach Polk and Ms. Fennell, the lively event was hosted by Ms. Johnson, school principal. The CCE Holiday Health Fair had give-aways (healthy snacks, t-shirts, bicycle helmets, et cetera), a dance performance by the Carol City Elementary Dance Team, and the winner of the CCE staff “Inch loss” competition was announced and given a Kindle ebook reader. The event had many wonderful guests and we were thrilled to be a part of an event that worked hard to bring fun into wellness and wellness into the lives of the children and parents of CCE. Thank you very much to Ms. McLean-Randolph who invited us to come be a part of something special in Carol City.
Then, without missing a beat, we travelled down to West Perrine for the Children of Haiti Enhancement Foundation's 18th Anniversary Party. COHEF is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to the education and empowerment of the children living in the quaint Haitian mountain hamlet of Kenscoff. The anniversary soirée was a charming affair that featured a silent auction of original Haitian artwork, delicious Caribbean food, enchanting music, and more - all under a delightful canopy of bright stars in a pleasant late autumn evening sky. Writer and painter Michelle Rouzier, sculpter Tebo, and musician Capi (of Tabou Combo) were all on hand as well as a COHEF "alumnus" who literally grew up with the organization and is now in the United States studying in college. COHEF and IWN have a special partnership and we were honored to be a part of such a special event for a special organization.
It is moments like the ones we experienced today that make our relationships with people and organizations committed to wellness very special - in infinite ways.
