Youth in Action!
Several NYM Youth including Adam & Asante Creek are planning a Dodge Ball Tournament during Spring Break! Why, you might ask? Because after a discussion on eating healthy and exercising, we discovered that youth who live in poverty are more likely to be overweight. Overweight people have a higher risk of developing many preventable diseases including type 2 diabetes and hypertension.
After giving the matter some thought, they decided that they wanted to do something to encourage kids to eat wise and exercise especially when they were not in school! That is how the Dodge Ball Tournament was born! The Tournament will take place on March 22. Stay tuned for Details!
