SOCIAL Service of Commerce in Brazil, in partnership with the Trim and Fitness International Sport for All Association (TAFISA), based in Germany, will promote World Challenge Day today which is a sport for all movements in benefit of health. Challenge Day has the objective of introducing a new attitude towards active living by stimulating citizens to break their daily routine and practise any kind of physical activity for at least 15 minutes.
The aims of the International Challenge Day are to bring communities together, enhance community spirit and create awareness of the benefits of physical activity.
To achieve the objectives, the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport & National Sports Commission have organised a major activity focusing on sport activities/physical displays involving martial arts, boxing, physical displays by the Guyana Police Force and a parachute Jumping display by the Guyana Defence Force.
Activities will commence at 09:30hrs at the Guyana National Stadium.
The International Challenge Day provides friendly competition in sport for all communities to motivate as many people as possible within the communities to get physically active.
Above all, the event is a fun day that creates awareness and enthusiasm for fitness and active living in participating communities.
International Challenge Day is available to communities of only a small population as well as to the largest cities in the world.
Schools along the East Coast of Demerara and other invitees will participate in a Physical Warm-up Exercise for approximately 20 minutes coordinated by Curtis.
The Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport Dr Frank Anthony will give the motivational talk.
