3. Project Summary and Scope: Many youth and adults are lured to an unhealthy lifestyle due to poverty, wrong choices, dysfunctional family upbringings, early pregnancy and dropping out of school. Our desire is to redefine life by offering healthy, sober activities such as fitness, martial arts, weight training, dance, cycling, running, sports and physical challenges for the whole family to indulge together. Many people have natural sports talent in Mindanao but unfortunately there is limited or no facilities available for them to develop those skills properly. We envision a wellness park which will draw people from all over the country to experience wellness of mind, body and spirit like never before. It will be a safe place where people can allow their inner child to be unleashed and inner healing to remove the built-up stresses of life and for hope and happiness to be restored in their inner being. This project will unfold in 3 phases.
