Senior citizens from homes enjoy health fun day |25 May 2012

The aim for the fun day was to promote healthy living and bring more awareness on the importance of ageing healthily

Held under the theme Vyeir an bonn sante, the activity was initiated by the board of trustees for the Plaisance home. It coincided with this year’s World Health Organisation and Ministry of Health’s theme Ageing and Health.

Present at the event were the district’s member of National Assembly Roma Aglaé, special adviser for community development Dan Frichot, central committee member for Plaisance Charles Bastienne, district administrator Claudette Louise and home administrator Danny Laporte.

The day started with a blessing followed by a short fitness session. Those present had the chance to carry out different tests for cardiovascular, diabetes, dental, physiotherapy and Body Mass Index. A healthy lunch was also served and the day ended with fun activities.
