WaiTuFit360, a health and fitness club which was recently launched in Dominica will host its first major sporting event on Easter Sunday with the aim of bringing families together.<\/p>\n
President of the WaiTuFit360, Kimara Matthew told Dominica News Online (DNO) during an interview, that the intention behind the sports day event is to get people active again.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are going to have a lot of games that are going to draw the family together,\u201d she said.\u00a0 \u201cIt is for us to regroup and get back into the habit of interacting and socializing. We won\u2019t be on the tablets, we won\u2019t be on the phones, and we will be playing, going back to our golden days,\u201d Matthew said,<\/p>\n
According to her, the public will benefit from the sports day event by just having an opportunity to interact in a positive space.<\/p>\n
Families will compete in fun games that were introduced by the older generation which include lime and spoon, bag race, rounders, cricket, needle and thread, apple eating and Easter hunt for the children.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe onus is on us to bring it back to the children so they can know their culture, know where they come from, they can know their history,\u201d she noted. \u201cIf our generation does not expose our children to these games, they will not be able to pass it on. It will be history repeating itself,\u201d an enthusiastic Matthew said<\/p>\n
The event is open to everyone and they will be required to follow the necessary Covid-19 protocols.<\/p>\n
The WaiTuFit360 Sports Day is expected to take place at the Botanic Gardens Pavilion area from 1:00 PM.<\/p>\n
Families will be allowed to compete in 10 games on a $20 ticket and 5 games whenever a $10 ticket is purchased. Tickets are available from Waitufit360 members via the club\u2019s Facebook page\u00a0\u00a0or Finesse Beauty\u00a0in Roseau.<\/p>\n
Other upcoming activities include a dance tour, looking at summer, hikes, and a campaign for people focusing on their mental health.<\/p>\n
Part of Waitufit360 vision is to create balance for the empowerment of mind, body and soul for everyday people, while its mission is to encourage people all over the world to love and appreciate themselves while embracing the concept\u00a0of living their best lives through dance therapy.<\/p>\n
Wai-Tu-fit promotes itself as the home for women to decompress, distress and re-energize their mind, body and soul.<\/p>\n
Its platform is designed\u00a0 to create a network\u00a0 of strength\u00a0 for each and every member bearing in mind their individual goals. Some call it an escape, others see Wai-Tu-Fit as a home away from home.<\/p>\n
