North Bergen High School, Healthcorps "Health Fair", Tuesday, December 7, 2010
The fair was fresh, innovative, and reflected the sincere and focussed attention
of the Healthcorps coordinators.
Coordinators Alvin and Joshua and others supported Hannah's event.
Only Grade 9 students were invited. They felt the depth and sincerity of the presentations. They were respectful, and participated in a real way.
The Sahaja Meditation station was popular. Usually students were standing,
waiting for their turn, as we only had seven available chairs.
(We requested more chairs for the next New Jersey health fair in Newark.) Mark,
Nidhi and Nilgun showed the students how to meditate.
Sahaja Meditation appeared to be the only "outside" group that took
part in the fair. Everything else was contributed by the school staff
and students themselves, and by the tireless dedication of the Healthcorps coordinators.
And yes, that is Joshua, a very good hula-hoop pratitioner.
I couldn't decode the "tiful" on the small posters all over the gym. It took Nidhi to tell me, it says, "BE YOU-tiful".
There were several "two images in one" drawings displayed. Some people
could see only the one, and some people saw only the other image.
Two people sitting (one with a guitar), or two old people in profile?
Alvin, hula hoop master. Also known as "the guy with the boundless energy and enthusiasm," that is, your typical Healthcorps person.
