REVIVE YOUR HEALTH with IT’S NOT OK
Paola’s initiative to a remarkable fundraising initiative for the She Rescue Home - IT’s NOT OK project. With great enthusiasm and dedication, the REVIVE YOUR HEALTH morning successfully orchestrated a series of engaging physical and mental activities on the beautiful cold sunny morning to raise funds and awareness for this crucial cause, especially in the COVID season when resources were so limited for SHE Rescues HOME.
