February 22, 2010

U.S. Consulate General staff (in black and green in the front) lead a workout session during a visit to Om Creations by Consulate General staff to promote healthy eating and living as well as fellowship.

Consulate General staff participated on Februrary 22 in a community service project with Om Creations, a non-profit organization that empowers adult women with Down’s syndrome and other mental disabilities by providing them with professional training and support. Designed to promote healthy lifestyles, Consulate General staffers conducted a short, fun and relaxing yoga and deep breathing workshop, followed by an upbeat dance and aerobic class.  Dancing to Bollywood hits ensued and the morning was capped off with homemade American-style sandwiches and tea and fellowship.  The event provided an opportunity for members, friends, and family of the Consulate to get involved and reach out to others in the local community.
