Zumba fundraiser for Pokoina

Thursday 13: Creative Centre member Pokoina Nganu will be able to have much needed surgery in New Zealand thanks to funds raised during the Zumbathon fundraiser at Top Shape Gym.

The Zumbathon raised $400 plus an extra donation of $100 was received from the Koteka-Wiki family.

More Zumbathons will be held on Saturdays at the gym with funds again going to the Creative Centre.

Pokoina has minimal sight and hearing and the funds raised from the fun fitness class will help him have surgery in New Zealand that will allow him to see and hear better.

He is due to fly to New Zealand on August 16 and if you would like to help this worthy cause, you can either join the Zumbathon classes or make donations at the centre in Tupapa.

Show your support for the Creative Centre and shake your booty in the Zumba classes at Top Shape Gym. By the way, Zumba is a fun exercise that incorporates Latin music and dance. - Matariki Wilson
