Pond Island:--- TelEm Group has taken up the call for all women to celebrate International Women's Day Friday, with a special focus on their health and the health of all women globally.
Chief Commercial Officer, Brian Mingo, Tuesday presented Prime Minister Mrs. Sarah Wescot Williams with a check towards the hosting of a high-profile American nutritionist to address women on International Women's Day.
To mark the occasion, St. Maarten will be hosting a visit and lecture by acclaimed nutritionist, Dr. Ro, aka "America's Nutrition Coach" Rovenia Brock, Ph.D.
Dr. Ro is the author of Dr. Ro's Ten Secrets to Livin' Healthy and an award-winning health journalist and television personality. She known for her easy-to-apply diet, fitness and health advice for women and families and is also named as one of America's top 5 nutritionists.
According to Prime Minister Wescot Williams this year's theme for International Women's Day: Gender Agenda is focusing on health and this, coincides well with her own "U 2 Can Move" health initiative for civil servants and women in the civil service.
"Dr. Ro being here brings these two matters together in the interest of all women on International Women's Day and that is a worthwhile thing for us," said the Prime Minister.
On behalf of TelEm Group, Mr. Mingo wished the organizers of Friday's event much success and urged all women to attend and to give their support.
