All is set for the official activation of the National Recreation & Wellness Programme (NaRWP) at Mantse Agbonaa, Jamestown, on Monday, September 22.
The Ministry of Sports and Recreation, in partnership with the Odododiodio Constituency, will roll out the programme under the theme “Play More, Live Well – The Ga-Mashie Edition.”
According to the Ministry, the event kicks off as early as 6:00 a.m. and is expected to draw hundreds of residents and stakeholders to participate in a variety of wellness and recreational activities.
NaRWP is a nationwide initiative that seeks to promote active lifestyles, improve public health, and foster community engagement through structured recreational, wellness, rehabilitation, and school physical activity programmes
The programme will feature mass aerobics sessions, free health screening, indigenous games such as Oware, Ludu, Ampe, and Draft, as well as a “Tag of Peace” rope challenge.
There will also be community football and volleyball matches, with “exciting prizes, trophies & giveaways” up for grabs.
The Ministry has extended a special invitation to “schools, youth groups, fitness clubs, elderly associations, and healthcare volunteers” and encouraged participants to attend in their sports attire for what promises to be a “vibrant, inclusive, and impactful experience.”
