A healthy lifestyle was on the menu when a group of Diagnostic Radiography students recently visited a Belhar school.
Student Eden Musampa said a group of six students, under the guidance of their radiographic management lecturer Saaiga Ismail, spent a day at Excelsior High to promote the importance of healthy eating habits and exercise.
“This formed part of our community outreach project. Research has shown that there is a high rate of diabetes in this precinct and we thought it was important to make young learners aware of the importance of a healthy lifestyle,” said Musampa.
The students did a short presentation for the pupils and a donation of fruit was given to the school.
Ismail said the school was so impressed with the students’ presentation that they asked for a copy of it.
Musampa said the students were also working on a poster, which would encapsulate their message of healthy living, to provide to the school.
