improved knowledge of the English language in order to improve their overall lifestyle. Also
to inspire them to make healthy choices in their diet and exercise habits.
Our Vision
Our program will utilize an interactive and educational curricula aimed at both the adults
and children on Family Night. We will strive to create a helpful environment for immigrant
families who are struggling with financial inadequacy combined with a lack of access to up
to date nutritional information.
Description
Our mission is to provide services to immigrants from different parts of the world that are
struggling with financial inadequacies. We will offer classes to educate adults in a useful
manner so they can enhance their daily nutrition. In addition, we will offer a series of
2
engaging activities aimed at children consisting of educational arts and crafts, educational
games and cultural stories. We will help them to learn the English language through
interactive ESL games, and engage them in various activities that will be beneficial to their
daily lifestyle. We will be offering nutrition classes that will help them learn the importance
of to maintain a healthy balanced diet. In addition, we will involve the participants in fun
and engaging Zumba routine to incorporate physical activity into their lifestyle. Our
program will also offer classes that will teach basic computer skills to communicate and
obtain important information. Throughout the program, we would also like to offer
motivational speeches and workshops to enable and empower people to set goals and
achieve success in their lives. Aside from these classes, we will be simultaneously running a
program directed for the children so that the parents who will come to take these classes
can feel free to drop them off under a safe and educational environment.
