Ola expats! those of you that have remained in Kuwait (like me) for the long weekend this week as we bid farewell to December and 2015 next week, with another extended weekend :D

I come to you on a matter most crucial - community events.

For the past 4 weeks i have been part of a group that is advocating community; through enhancing active citizenship, critical thinking, advocacy and media literacy. after the 4 weeks came to a close, we were expected to come up with an idea regarding something to be done to benefit the community.

As anyone who knows me would know, i LOVE running. i find it to be a gateway to raising awareness for everything; and my chosen topic was - Physical health, and its relationship with mental health. the event is to be called "Sustainable Youth" and it is meant to empower others to be more physically active, regardless of age, in order to attain sustainable youth. The goal is not to merely run, but to inspire and motivate others to do so consistently.

it'll be a run that has not been done before in Kuwait, i dont want to blow the surprise, but there will be teams, and the catchphrase will be, "you're only as fast as your slowest runner".

The event will be free, and there will be medals for all participants.

As it is free, space is limited, so if interested, or if you know someone that might be interested, please share this registration form with them (link) on surveymonkey.

The date has yet TBA as we're meant to draw up the final scale, budget, KPI's etc. for the event and submit it to En.V for approval, but it's sure to get the green light.

So what are you waiting for?

:D
