In recognition of World Obesity Day and World Kidney Day, the Nutrition Department of the Ministry of Health, Wellness, and Elderly Affairs spearheaded a community walk in Laborie, engaging schoolchildren in a meaningful initiative to promote health and wellness.
The event aimed to educate young minds on the importance of maintaining a healthy diet and active lifestyle while also showing support for families affected by obesity and kidney disease. Through this walk, the Ministry sought to empower communities to make healthier choices and encourage lifelong wellness habits.
By fostering awareness and promoting preventive health measures, such initiatives contribute to a healthier Saint Lucia. As the saying goes, “Healthy habits start early”—and with continued community involvement, the nation moves one step closer to a brighter, healthier future.
