World Cup 2010 WAKA WAKA and Zumba for 1GOAL - Education for all! Shakira's Challenge.
1GOAL and Shakira hope to help the 72 million children around the world, who are not in school, get an education. 1 Song, 1 Dance, 1GOAL - education for all. 1GOAL is urging heads of state and world leaders to ensure that every child is in an education program by the next FIFA World Cup in Brazil, 2015. Heidi Schaefer, Zumba Fitness Instructor, and Jesse Jones, owner of Phenom1 Phitness, joined forces to organize a community-wide event to support the campaign efforts. They asked the entire community of Colorado Springs to support the cause and join them. About 30 people showed to support the cause at Memorial Park, July 8th. Some danced, some watched, some helped with technical stuff. We all had a great time. People from the Farmer's Market across the street came over to see what all the FUN was about. We couldn't have asked for a better day. Thanks to King Soopers and Walmart for keeping us hydrated and fed during the event. In addition to teaching Zumba eight times per week, I am also a Weight Loss Coach and write a Fitness & Weight Loss column. Follow me at any of the below links.
