We started a new program called: “Growing Healthy Workshop” designed to instruct students and children from elementary schools with the basic rules of health, following the known phrase: “Sound Mind in a Sound Body”. This involves a class hosted by puppets, music rhymes, and games. The reaction of the children and teachers to this workshop has been very positive, and many more schools are requesting more of this kind of educational input to enhance the local educational programs.

The program covers five basic rules:

RULE # 1: NUTRITION AND DIET: Vitamins and where to find them. Healthy food Vs. junk food.

RULE # 2: GOOD EXERCISE AND SPORTS: In order to improve blood circulation, breathing, digestion, and metabolism.

RULE # 3: GOOD REST: To estimulate the proper growth and the reparation of tissues.

RULE # 4: FEED THE MIND AND SPIRIT: With good and edifying books, music, and videos containing good values and morals.

RULE # 5: KEEP A CLEAN HEART: Stressing the importance of living and practicing daily values such as honesty, kindness, unity, diligence, and love.
