Socceroo’s Healthy Active Ambassador Harry Kewell visited an Aussie school recently for the Healthy Active program, an initiative of the Australian Government.
Taking time out of his four-day visit to Australia, Kewell was a roaringly popular speaker at the school, highlighting the need to start living an active healthier life, especially at a young age.
The Healthy Active initiative was started in 2006 in response to the nations obesity problem, the obesity problem in western societies and societies around the world. Kewell was the first ambassador to sign up for the cause.
Itsa matter of concern,in Australia, that adults and children dont exercise enough and have unhealthy diets. The Healthy Active Ambassadors have made it their mission to get Australians off their arm chairs and involved in something active.
I’m just hoping to … show my support to what we’re trying to achieve as Australian people, to get obesity down and to live a healthier, happy life
