Health Fair in Opa-locka!

This past weekend, we had the pleasure of joining Short Chef, the Hispanic Coalition, local chapters of the Links, Inc., and War on Poverty, Florida for the first annual Health and Nutrition Fair at Nathan B. Young Elementary School in Opa-locka.

Healthcare and wellness stakeholders from around the community participated providing information about diabetes & nutrition, blood pressure and cholesterol examinations, on-site HIV testing, and more!   Local families that spent the day with us enjoyed fresh produce courtesy of the Links and a lively zumba fitness workout for all.  

Students from both Nathan B. Young and Dr. Robert Ingram Elementary School faced off in a friendly and nutritious "Iron Chef" cook off organized by Short Chef himself.  

We had a great time meeting so many people committed to a healthier community including but not limited to Miami-Dade College's Medical Campus, Florida Memorial University, Miami-Dade County Public School Board Member Dr. Wilbert "Tee" Holloway, Miami-Dade County Commissioner Audrey Edmonson and all of it was hosted by Mr. Raymond Sands, Principal of Nathan B. Young Elementary. 

Miami is getting healthier and we are thrilled to be working with so many people to make that happen.

   

Busy Saturday in the Community for IWN

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.
