This edition of the Independence Activity booklet highlights Health and Wellness, which is an area of serious concern of the medical profession, as well as the Ministry of Education, Youth Affairs and Sports. The Audio Visual Aids Department (AVAD) takes pleasure in presenting this valuable information for students, teachers and the general public. It is our desire that the enclosed information is used as a catalyst for discussion and research with a common goal of adopting healthy lifestyles. There are several activities included in this publication to engage your students. We anticipate that there will be several responses to the activity on page 7. Please send your comments and suggestions on this new AVA on line publication to ljordan@mes.gov.bb
