One step closer to my dream :) So blessed.........

Thanks to a Facebook post put up by the Health Promotion Board (HPB), I managed to sign myself up to become a "Health Ambassador".Yesterday, I attended the orientation session at HPB,looks like I'm in for an amazing learning journey. I will be volunteering and helping out at various health promotion roadshows, will learn about mentoring, hypertension and weight management  (through free training programmes provided by HPB), and most importantly, lead a healthy lifestyle which will hopefully inspire others to do the same. It's a community thing, effort individuals make to create awareness on various health issues, so as to collectively impact the community  in a positive way. Wow, PRESSURE. hahah! I kid I kid, but I'm up for it, because this is what I love :)

We were each given a Health Ambassador T-shirt, ........

Each participant got a chance to check out the Health Zone.. hehe. As u walk up to the Health Zone, you will see these drawings by the sides....


at HPB one is encouraged to take the steps rather than an elevator


Footprints on the ground, around the Health Zone, the letters in red read " A life affair without,drugs, alcohol and smoking" . Me likes



OOooo recycling is encouraged too, me likes!



And presenting *drum roll*... The Health Zone :) I believe this is the place kiddies are brought to with their school teachers for health education.


Inside the Health Zone.......




               In that jar, is the amount of  tar in the body of a smoker (who has been smoking for just a year)



                 The addiction zone.. where kids are introduced to the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse



For those who are interested to join, here is the link on Facebook!
