Per Nito's Wings,

Iakwe.

In celebration of Lutok Kobban Alele we have created a virtual fitness and wellness event entitled: Ejmour Ej Adwōj Eddo. Our Health Our Responsibility.

The event will take participants on a virtual journey to the Marshall Islands. It is intended to be both adult and kid friendly, as well as hopefully appeal to even the most well studied Marshallese. As participants meet fitness and wellness milestones, they will receive information about the culture and history of the Marshall Islands along the way.

In an attempt to make relevant content we reached for the stars and are beyond thankful for the support and permissions we received in creating the content provided in this campaign from the following: The Republic of the Marshall Islands Ministry of Cultural and Internal Affairs; the Office of Commerce, Investment and Tourism; the Alele Museum; Nito’s Butterfly Foundation (our sister organization in the Marshall Islands); Miss Marshall Islands; the Marshall Islands Canoe Paddling Federation; and artist John Alefaio.

We would love to see as many US based Marshallese Communities participate as possible, which is why we are messaging you.

Participants can sign up as individuals or as part of a team (at the end of registration). They will have until October 21 to meet their goals. How fun would it be to have different US based Marshallese Communities create teams. There are prizes for both individuals and teams. Additionally, we have tried to create different registration fee prices to make it available to as many community members as possible, including opportunities for free registrations.

Komol for considering helping us spread health and wellness through this Manit Celebration Campaign.

Day 30 of Women's HERstory month!! Let's celebrate Melisa Laelan! Melisa has been serving the community since she was fresh out of high school. She is a fierce leader and is not afraid to ask the tough questions. She brings out the leader in people. She is passionate about creating more leaders and equity for Micronesian communities. She is a risk-taker and seeks solutions, but with compassion, creativity and always with culturally sensitive approaches. She continues to surprise people and succeeds in the face of doubt. She is for the community, by the community type of woman. She is a vibe!! Our team is very fortunate to have her. ''But if you are fearless, you fear less.'' -Rebecca Minkoff
