The Filipino Women’s Initiative received funding from Healthy Together Now-Downtown to run a Zumba and Healthy snack program for the community. The project was a great success with 127 participants for the 12 weeks session. This also led to the creation of the group’s Facebook page by one of its participants. The initiative aims to provide updates about latest happenings and shares resources. The group continues to enhance the relationship by organizing a picnic event this summer at Kildonan Park.
Participants and their families as well as friends from the community shared this wonderful bonding opportunity. The group is open to everyone. Please watch out for the upcoming projects of the group.
Special thanks to our amazing volunteers that day – Abigail Legaspi, Jacqueline Manuel, Maricelle Banay, Maria Luz Ocampo, Sheryll Ann, Rhona Gabriel, Daisy Mendez, Irynne Pili, Alex Mendez and Cynthia Morales. Special thanks to Tim Hortons Cruiser program and Filipino Journal for providing special treats.
The Facebook group is listed under “WINNIPEG ZUMBA GROUP”.
