Speaking with betterghnadigest.com after the tour, Mr. Emmanuel Olla Williams, CEO of Dreamland Sports Plus, the rationale behind the program is to inculcate the habit of regular exercising into the youth, particularly students.
He underscored the need for exercise and called on the management of various schools to encourage the students as well as the teachers to exercise regularly in order to stay strong and healthy. “A sound mind is always found in a sound body” he added.
He said the benefits of exercise to the human brain and body goes beyond just the individual and that it benefits society to a larger extent.
Interestingly, at the end of each event, majority of the students called on the organizers to make the event a termly one since they enjoyed it so much and would love to host it over and over again.
They expressed their appreciation to the organisers, particularly to Mr. Emmanuel Olla Williams, CEO of Dreamland Sports Plus and Mr. Baffour, Sales Manager for Kasapreko sponsors of the event, not forgetting the hardworking instructors (Charles Obeng, Nana Yaw Boakye Noah, Portia, Mensah Enyonam Cynthia, Matilda Afful Efua).
